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 pow'r when we were gone astray,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
(verse 2)
In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born,
and laid within a manger upon this blessed morn,
The which His Mother Mar-y did nothing take in scorn,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
(verse 3)
From God our heav'nly 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,
