God rest you merry, gentlemen, |
|
Let nothing you dismay, |
|
For Jesus Christ our Savior |
|
Was born upon this 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! |
|
In Bethlehem in Jewry |
|
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, 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! |
|
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! |
