E5 
God rest ye merry, gentlemen 
    C5              B5 
let nothing you dismay  
  E5 
Remember Christ our Savior 
    C5                 B5 
was born on Christmas Day 
   A5               G5 
To save us all from Satan's pow'r 
     E5             D5 
when we were gone a-stray 
 
Chorus: 
  G5          B5          E5 
O tidings of comfort and joy,  
            D5 
comfort and joy! 
  G5          B5          E5 
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.
