God rest ye 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

In bethlehem, in israel
This blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which his mother mary
Did nothing take in 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 certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
Now that in bethlehem was born
The son of god by name

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Joy, joy, joy
