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 astray
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
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
|
Comfort and joy
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
|
"Fear not", then said the angel
|
"Let nothing you affright
|
This day is born a Savior
|
Of virtue, power, and might
|
So frequently to vanquish all
|
The friends of Satan quite"
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
Comfort and joy
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
|
The shepherds at those tidings
|
Rejoiced much in mind
|
And left their flocks a-feeding
|
In tempest, storm, and wind
|
And went to Bethlehem straightway
|
This blessed babe to find
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
Comfort and joy
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
|
But when to Bethlehem they came
|
Whereat this infant lay
|
They found him in a manger
|
Where oxen feed on hay
|
His mother Mary kneeling
|
Unto the Lord did pray
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
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 others doth deface
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
Comfort and joy
|
O tidings of comfort and joy
|
|
