Verse 1

God rest you 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

Chorus

(Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy)
(Oh tidings of comfort and joy)

Verse 2

In Bethlehem in Jewry, this blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger, upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary, did nothing take in scorn

Chorus

(Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy)
(Oh tidings of comfort and joy)

Verse 3

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

Chorus

(Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy)
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
