Verse 1 
	  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.
	  
	  (Refrain)
	  O tidings of comfort and joy, 
	  Comfort and joy, 
	  O tidings of comfort and joy! 
	  
	  Verse 2 
	  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. 
	  (Refrain) 
	  
	  Verse 3 
	  "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." 
	  (Refrain) 
	  
	  Verse 4 
	  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. 
(Refrain)
