 A5              
God rest ye merry, gentlemen 
     E5             E5
Let nothing you dismay 
 A5
Remember, Christ, our Saviour 
     E5                E5       
Was born on Christmas day 
    D5                 C5         
To save us all from Satan's power 
    A5                G5
When we were gone astray 
     C5           E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy,
             G5
Comfort and joy 
     C5           E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy 


  A5                         
From God our Heavenly Father 
     E5            E5
A blessed Angel came; 
  A5 
And unto certain Shepherds  
         E5               E5
Brought tidings of the same: 
     D5             C5
How that in Bethlehem was born 
     A5             G5
The Son of God by Name. 
    C5            E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G5
Comfort and joy 
    C5            E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy 


A5
And when they came to Bethlehem 
      E5              E5
Where our dear Saviour lay, 
  A5
They found Him in a manger, 
      E5            E5
Where oxen feed on hay; 
     D5                  C5
His Mother Mary kneeling down, 
   A5               G5
Unto the Lord did pray. 
     C5           E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G5
Comfort and joy 
     C5           E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy 


  A5
Now to the Lord sing praises, 
      E5               E5
All you within this place, 
  A5                   
And with true love and brotherhood 
      E5           E5
Each other now embrace; 
      D5              C5
This holy tide of Christmas 
     A5           G5
All other doth deface. 
    C5            E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G5
Comfort and joy 
     C5           E5        A5
O tidings of comfort and joy
