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 

"Fear not," said the Angel, 
"Let nothing you affright, 
This day is born a Saviour 
Of pure or Virgin bright, 
To free all those who trust in Him 
From Satan's power and might." 
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
