::'''1.'''
:God rest ye<sup>1</sup> merry, gentlemen
:Let nothing you dismay
:For Jesus Christ our Saviour
:Was born upon this 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
 
::'''2.'''
:In Bethlehem, in Jewry,
:This blessèd Babe was born
:And laid within a manger
:Upon this blessèd 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
 
::'''3.'''
:From God our Heavenly Father
:A blessèd 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
 
::'''4.'''
:"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."
:O tidings of comfort and joy,
:Comfort and joy
:O tidings of comfort and joy
 
::'''5.'''
:The shepherds at those tidings
:Rejoiced much in mind,
:And left their flocks a-feeding
: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
 
::'''6.'''
:But when to Bethlehem they came
:Whereat this Infant lay,
:They found Him in a manger,
:Where oxen feed on hay;
:His Mother Mary kneeling,
:Unto the Lord did pray.
:O tidings of comfort and joy,
:Comfort and joy
:O tidings of comfort and joy
 
::'''7.'''
: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
 
<sup>1</sup> "ye" is often replaced with "you".
