Em 
God rest ye merry, gentlemen 
    C              B7 
let nothing you dismay  
  Em 
Remember Christ our Savior 
    C                 B7 
was born on Christmas Day 
   Am               G 
To save us all from Satan's pow'r 
     Em             D 
when we were gone a-stray 
 
Chorus: 
  G          B7          Em 
O tidings of comfort and joy,  
            D 
comfort and joy! 
  G          B7          Em 
O tidings of comfort and joy 
 
 
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.
