God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember christ our saviour,
Was born on christmas day . . .
To save us all from satans power,
When we were gone astray,
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 . . .
How, that in bethlehem was born,
The son of God by name,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .
<instrumental break >
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .
The shepherds at these tidings,
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest storm and wind,
And went to bethlehem straight way,
The blessed babe to find,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .
