Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
God rest you merry gentle men Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus christ our Saviour was born upon this day;
To Save us all from Satans power when we were gone astray
REFRAIN
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and Joy
O tidings of Comfort and joy.
VERSE 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
VERSE 3
The Shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced Much in Mind,
And left their flocks a feeding In tempest, storm and wind;
And went to Bethlehem straightway this blessed babe to find
VERSE 4
But when to Bethlehem they came whereat this infant lays,
They found him in a manger, where Oxen feed on hay;
His Mother mary Kneeling unto the Lord did pray
VERSE 5
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 Christmass All Others doth deface
