    Em                             C              B7
God rest you merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
    Em                           C              B7
For Jesus Christ our Saviour was born upon this day
   Am               G                  Em            D
To save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone astray
 
  G          B7          Em               D
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
  G          B7          Em
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

Fear not, then said the angel, Let nothing you affright
this day is born a Savior of a pure virgin bright
to free all those who trust in Him from Satan's pow'r and might

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
and left their flocks afeeding, in tempest, storm, and wind
and went to Bethlehem straightway, this blessed Babe to find

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

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

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
