God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember, cried our Saviour, was born on Christmas Day.
The Saviour saw from Satan's power when we were gone astray.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem in Israel, this blessed babe was born.
And laid within a manger, abounded blessed.
As it mourned, the witch, his mother Mary, did nothing take its scorn.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem in Israel, this blessed babe was born.
And laid within a manger, abounded blessed.
As it mourned, the witch, his mother Mary, did nothing take its scorn.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our heavenly Father, a blessed angel came.
And unto the certain Shepherd brought tidings of the same.
Now that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God,
God by name,
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
