[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
From God our heavenly father, the blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 3]
"Fear not," said the angel, "let nothing you affright
This day is born a savior of the pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him from Satan's power and might
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy"

[Verse 4]
And when they came to Bethlehem, where our dear savior lay
They found him in the manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeled down and to the Lord did pray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
