Lyrics

God rest ye merry gentleman, let nothing you dismay

For Jesus Christ our saviour, was born on this day

To save us all from Satan's power when we 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


The shepherds at these tidings rejoiced much in mind

And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind

And went to Bethlehem straight-way, the blessed babe to find

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, o tidings of comfort and joy
