1. 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 pow'r
 when we were gone astray. 

Refrain:
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

2. From God our heav'nly 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. Refrain

3. 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. Refrain
