lyrics

God rest ye merry, gentlemen , let nothing you dismay 
Remember, Christ, our Saviour was born on Christmas 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

From God our Heavenly Father a blessed Angel came;
 And unto certain shepherds  brought tidings of the same:
 How that in Bethlehem was born  the Son of God by Name
 O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy 
O 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 other doth deface.
 O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
 O tidings of comfort and joy.
