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 pow’r
when we were gone a-stray
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 Mar-y did nothing take in scorn

From God our heav’nly 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
