Verse 1

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ the Savior

Was born on Christmas Day

To Save us all from Satan's pow'r

When we had gone astray

Chorus:

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Verse 2

>From God our Heav'nly Father

A Blessed Angel came

And unto certain shepherd's

Bro t 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
