Remember, Christ, our Saviour 
     Em                Em       
Was born on Christmas day 
    Dm                 C         
To save us all from Satan's power 
    Am                G
When we were gone astray 
     C           Em        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy,
             G
Comfort and joy 
     C           Em        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy 


  Am                         
From God our Heavenly Father 
     Em            Em
A blessed Angel came; 
  Am 
And unto certain Shepherds  
         Em               Em
Brought tidings of the same: 
     Dm             C
How that in Bethlehem was born 
     Am             G
The Son of God by Name. 
    C            Em        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G
Comfort and joy 
    C            Em        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy 


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


  Am
Now to the Lord sing praises, 
      Em               Em
All you within this place, 
  Am                   
And with true love and brotherhood 
      Em           Em
Each other now embrace; 
      Dm              C
This holy tide of Christmas 
     Am           G
All other doth deface. 
    C            Em        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G
Comfort and joy 
     C           Em        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy
