God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy From God heavenly Father a blessed Angel came Unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy
