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 power
  when we were gone astray
  Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
  
  In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
  this blessed babe was born
  And laid within a manger,
  upon a Christmas morn'
  That which his mother Mary
  did nothing take in scorn
  
  Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
  comfort and joy
  Oh, 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
  
  Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
  comfort and joy
  Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
