God rest ye merry, gentlemen,

let nothing you dismay

For Jesus Christ, our Savior,

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

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 others does deface

O tidings of comfort and joy,

comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy
