1. God rest you merry, gentlemen,
- Let nothing you dismay,
- For Jesus Christ our Saviour
- Was born on Christmas-day,
- To save us all from Satan’s pow’r
- When we were gone astray:
- O tidings of comfort and joy,
- comfort and joy,
- O tidings of comfort and joy.
2. In Bethlehem, in Israel,1
- 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 …
3.From God our Heav’nly 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 …
4. «Fear not,» said the Angel
- «Let nothing you affright.
- This day is born a Saviour
- Of the pure Virgin bright.
- To free all those who trust in Him
- From Satan’s pow’r and might»:
- O tidings …
5. 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:2
- O tidings …
