God rest ye merry, gentlemen; 
[ E5 B5 Em]
let nothing you dismay 
[ E5 C5 B7]
Remember Christ our Savior 
[ E5 B5 Em]
was born on Christmas Day 
[ E5 C5 B7]
To save us all from Satan's pow'r 
[ A5 B7]
when we were gone a-stray 
[ E5 D5 ]
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
[ G5 CG5 B5 Em]
comfort and joy! 
[ D5 ]
O tidings of comfort and joy [ G5 (/A /B C5 ) B5 E5 ]

In Bethlehem , in Israel, this blessed Babe was born, and laid within a manger
upon this blessed morn; The which His Mother Mar-y did nothing take in scorn.


>From God our heav'nly 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.
