God rest you 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;
Unto certain shepherds
With 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!
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind,
And straight they came to Bethlehem
The son of God to find.
O tidings of comfort,
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy!
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place,
Like we true loving brethren
Each other now embrace;
For the merry time of Christmas
Is drawing on a pace,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
(deck the halls with boughs of holly)
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy!
