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.

Chorus:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy!
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy!

In Bethlehem, in Isreal, the blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger; upon this blessed morn.
The which His Mother Mary,
did nothing take in scorn.

Chorus

From God our Heavn'ly 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.
