God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Savior
Was born upon this 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.
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.
What child is this whom angels greet?
Come peasant, king to own Him.
The King of kings salvation brings.
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
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 other doth efface:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
