God rest ye merry, gentlemen
F E
Let nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our Saviour
F E
Was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan's power
a G
When we were gone astray
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy,
G
Comfort and joy
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy
a
From God our Heavenly Father
F E
A blessed Angel came;
a
And unto certain Shepherds
F E
Brought tidings of the same:
d C
How that in Bethlehem was born
a G
The Son of God by Name.
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy,
G
Comfort and joy
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy
a
And when they came to Bethlehem
F E
Where our dear Saviour lay,
a
They found Him in a manger,
F E
Where oxen feed on hay;
d C
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
a G
Unto the Lord did pray.
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy,
G
Comfort and joy
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy
a
Now to the Lord sing praises,
F E
All you within this place,
a
And with true love and brotherhood
F E
Each other now embrace;
d C
This holy tide of Christmas
a G
All other doth deface.
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy,
G
Comfort and joy
C E a
O tidings of comfort and joy
