Original lyrics
ENGod rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray
chorus: Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our heavenly 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,
