God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, For Jesus Christ our Saviour was born upon this day, To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray, O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. In heavenly heaven, joyfully this blessed day was born, And laid within a manger on this blessed morn, To wait his mother there, he did not retain his soul, O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy. God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, For Jesus Christ our Savior was born upon this day, To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray, o tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy,
