God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember christ our saviour 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 tiding 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 those tidings Rejoiced much in mind And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm, and wind And went to bethlehem straightway The son of god to find O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
