Couplet 1

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 pow'r
When we were gone astray

Refrain

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Couplet 3

But went to Bethlehem they came
Whereat this infant lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary
Kneeling down
Unto the Lord did pray

Refrain

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Couplet 4

Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love
And brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface

Refrain

Tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
