God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ the Savior was born on Christmas day To save us all from Satan's pow'r When we had gone astray [Chorus] O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! O tidings of comfort and joy! From God our Heav'nly Father A blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds Bro't tidings of the same How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name [Chorus]
