God rest you 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!
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
Fear not, then, said the angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might.
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
Doth bring redeeming grace
