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,

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,

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,

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,

O tidings of comfort and joy.

O tidings of comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.
