God rest you merry gentlemenA
Let nothing you dismayB
For Jesus Christ our SaviourC
Was born upon this dayB
To save us all from Satan's powerC
When we were gone astrayB
O tidings of comfort and joyD
For Jesus Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayB
-
In Bethlehem in JuryC
This blessed babe was bornE
And laid within a mangerC
Upon this blessed mornE
The which his mother MaryC
Nothing did take in scornE
O tidings of comfort and joyD
Jesus Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayB
-
From God our Heavenly FatherC
A blessed Angel cameF
And unto certain ShepherdsG
Brought tidings of the sameF
How that in Bethlehem was bornE
The Son of God by nameF
O tidings of comfort and joyD
Jesus Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayB
-
Fear not then said the AngelH
Let nothing you affrightB
This day is born a SaviourC
Of virtue power and mightB
So frequently to vanquish allI
The friends of Satan quiteB
O tidings of comfort and joyD
Jesus Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayB
-
The Shepherds at those tidingsJ
Rejoiced much in mindB
And left their flocks a feedingK
In tempest storm and windB
And went to Bethlehem straightwayL
This blessed babe to findB
O tidings of comfort and joyD
Jesus Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayB
-
But when to Bethlehem they cameF
Whereas this infant layB
They found him in a mangerC
Where oxen feed on hayB
His mother Mary kneelingK
Unto the Lord did prayB
O tidings of comfort and joyD
Jesus Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayB
-
Now to the Lord sing praisesM
All you within this placeN
And with true love and brotherhoodB
Each other now embraceN
This holy tide of ChristmasO
All others doth defaceN
O tidings of comfort and joyD
Jesus Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayB
