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, |
|
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, |
|
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 Saviour |
|
Of a pure Virgin bright, |
|
To free all those who trust in Him |
|
From Satan's power and might." |
|
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 |
|
The Son of God to find. |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
Comfort and joy |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
And when they came to Bethlehem |
|
Where our dear Saviour lay, |
|
They found Him in a manger, |
|
Where oxen feed on hay; |
|
His Mother Mary kneeling down, |
|
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 other doth deface. |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
Comfort and joy |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
