God rest ye 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

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 tiding 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

"Fear not, then," said the angel

"Let nothing you affright

This day is born a Savior

Of a pure virgin bright

To free all those who trust in him

From Satan's power and might."

Oh tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy,

Oh 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

Doth bring redeeming grace

Oh tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy,

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
