Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God rest you merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our Savior was born upon this day
To save us all form Satan's power when we were gone astray
O, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 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
O, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 3]
The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm, and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway this blessed day to find
O, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 4]
But when to Bethlehem they came where our sweet infant lay
They found him in a Manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneel but to the Lord did pray
O, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 5]
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
O, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
