O tidings of comfort and joy

 O tidings of comfort and joy

                              

                              1

God rest you 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 a stay

          O tidings of comfort and joy

          Comfort and joy (2)

                             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

                             3

“Fear not, then”, said the angel Let nothing you afraid

This day is born a Savior of a pure virgin bright

To free all those who trust in him from Satan’s power and might

                             4

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 both deface
