Lyrics

[00:28.33] God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
[00:31.11] Let nothing you dismay,
[00:33.87] Remember Christ our Savior
[00:36.69] Was born on Christmas day,
[00:39.52] To save us all from Satan's pow'r
[00:42.64] When we were gone astray;
[00:44.87] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[00:49.26] Comfort and joy,
[00:50.62] O tidings of comfort and joy.
[01:25.09] "Fear not," then said the angel "
[01:27.62] "Let nothing you affright"
[01:30.44] This day is born a saviour
[01:33.26] Of a pure virgin bright
[01:36.04] To free all those who trust in him
[01:39.06] From Satan's pow'r and might"
[01:41.53] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[01:45.62] Comfort and joy;
[01:46.93] O tidings of comfort and joy!
[02:21.01] The shepherds at those tidings
[02:23.81] Rejoiced much in mind,
[02:26.29] And left their flocks a-feeding,
[02:28.91] In tempest, storm, and wind,
[02:31.73] And went to Bethlehem straightway
[02:34.65] This blessed babe to find:
[02:37.03] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[02:40.96] Comfort and joy,
[02:42.32] O tidings of comfort and joy.
[04:12.88] But when to Bethlehem they came,
[04:15.34] Whereat this infant lay
[04:17.91] They found him in a manger,
[04:21.10] Where oxen feed on hay;
[04:23.41] His mother Mary kneeling,
[04:26.25] Unto the Lord did pray:
[04:28.55] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[04:32.53] Comfort and joy,
[04:34.09] O tidings of comfort and joy.
[04:39.98] Now to the Lord sing praises,
[04:42.55] All you within this place, "
[04:45.23] And with true love and brotherhood "
[04:47.79] Each other now embrace; "
[04:50.57] This holy tide of Christmas
[04:53.24] All others doth deface:
[04:55.61] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[04:59.63] Comfort and joy,
[05:01.00] O tidings of comfort and joy
