     A#m            G#
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
     F#            F
Let nothing you dismay
   A#m                G#
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
     F#                F
Was born on Christmas day
    D#m               C#
To save us all from Satan's power
    A#m               G#
When we were gone astray
   C#         F          A#m
O tidings of comfort and joy,
             G#
Comfort and joy
   C#          F         A#m
O 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
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother Mary kneeling down
Unto the Lord did pray
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
