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 [incomprehensible] 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
