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 Jewry, 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 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, O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
