[Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 2]
In Bethlehem, in Jewry
This blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 3]
From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And to uncertain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
