| 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 Israel, 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 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
 | 
| «Fear not then,» said the Angel,
 | 
| «Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Saviour
 | 
| Of a pure Virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him
 | 
| From Satan’s power and might.»
 | 
| O tidings of comfort and joy,
 | 
| Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
 | 
| The shepherds at those tidings
 | 
| Rejoiced much in mind,
 | 
| And left their flocks a-feedingIn tempest, storm and wind:
 | 
| And went to Bethlehem straightway
 | 
| The Son of God to find.
 | 
| O tidings of comfort and joy,
 | 
| Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
 | 
| And when they came to Bethlehem
 | 
| Where our dear Saviour lay, They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay;
 | 
| His Mother Mary kneeling down,
 | 
| Unto the Lord did pray.
 | 
| O tidings of comfort and joy,
 | 
| Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
 | 
| 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 deface.
 | 
| O tidings of comfort and joy,
 | 
| Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy |
