God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay For Jesus Christ our saviour was born upon this day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy From God our heavenly father A blessed angel came And unto to certain sheperds Glad tidings of the same Now that in Bethlehem was born The son of God by name Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy Now to the Lord sing praises All you within this place And in true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace This holy tide of Christmas all anger shall replace Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy
