Lyrics

[00:00.45] God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
[00:02.87] Let nothing you dismay,
[00:05.69] Remember Christ our Savior
[00:08.33] Was born on Christmas day,
[00:11.09] To save us all from Satan's pow'r
[00:13.97] When we were gone astray;
[00:16.09] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[00:20.02] Comfort and joy,
[00:21.39] O tidings of comfort and joy.
[00:54.19] From God our heavenly Father
[00:56.88] A blessed angel came.
[00:59.49] And unto certain shepherds
[01:02.27] Brought tidings of the same,
[01:04.91] How that in Bethlehem was born
[01:07.63] The Son of God by name:
[01:09.99][00:43.18] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[01:13.84][00:47.12] Comfort and joy,
[01:15.15][00:48.34] O tidings of comfort and joy.
[01:20.97] "Fear not," then said the angel "
[01:23.60] "Let nothing you affright"
[01:26.64] This day is born a saviour
[01:29.17] Of a pure virgin bright
[01:31.94] To free all those who trust in him
[01:34.61] From Satan's pow'r and might"
[01:36.93] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[01:40.72] Comfort and joy;
[01:42.13] O tidings of comfort and joy!
[00:27.17] In Bethlehem, in Israel
[00:29.69] This blessed Babe was born
[00:32.58] And laid within a manger
[00:35.39] Upon this blessed morn
[00:37.88] The which His Mother Mary
[00:40.60] Did nothing take in scorn
[01:48.08] The shepherds at those tidings
[01:50.70] Rejoiced much in mind,
[01:53.33] And left their flocks a-feeding,
[01:56.06] In tempest, storm, and wind,
[01:58.73] And went to Bethlehem straightway
[02:01.56] This blessed babe to find:
[02:04.14] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[02:07.72] Comfort and joy,
[02:08.98] O tidings of comfort and joy.
[02:14.57] And when to Bethlehem they came,
[02:17.56] Where at this infant lay
[02:20.23] They found him in a manger,
[02:22.90] Where oxen feed on hay;
[02:25.85] His mother Mary kneeling,
[02:28.03] Unto the Lord did pray:
[02:30.74] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[02:34.67] Comfort and joy,
[02:36.00] O tidings of comfort and joy.
[02:41.95] Now to the Lord sing praises,
[02:44.64] All you within this place, "
[02:47.27] And with true love and brotherhood "
[02:49.98] Each other now embrace; "
[02:52.82] This holy tide of Christmas
[02:55.39] All others doth deface:
[02:57.63] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[03:01.56] Comfort and joy,
[03:03.07] O tidings of comfort and joy
