Remember Christ our Savior

To save us all from Satan's pow'r 
[ Am B7]
when we were gone a-stray 
[ Em D/F# ]
O tidings of comfort and joy,

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.
