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 power when we were
Gone astray,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In bethlehem, in jewry, 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 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,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
