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.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Israel this blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary did nothing take in scorn.
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.
"Fear not, then," said the angel, "Let nothing you afright"
This day is born a Savior of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him from Satan's power and might.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
The shepherd at those tidings rejoiced with much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethl'em straightaway this blessed Babe to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
But when to Bethlehem they came where our dear Savior lay,
They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay;
His mother kneeling unto the Lord did pray.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
