Original lyrics
ENGod rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, christ, our savior
Was born on christmas day
To save the world 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 that is our father
The blessed angel came;
Unto certain shepherds
Glad tidings of the same:
That was born in bethlehem
The son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
In bethlehem, of judah,
The blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger
This blessed holy morn
To which his mother mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
