Lyrics

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
let nothing you dismay;
remember Christ, our Savior
was born on Christmas Day
to save us all from Satan's pow'r
when we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

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.

Oh tidings of comfort, tidings of joy
Let the bells ring out their carol,
Joy to the world
Let all Heav’n and nature sing
As we praise the newborn King

Hark how the bells, all seem to tell
Jesus was born, that Christmas morn
Love coming down, hope in the sound of the bells
Of comfort and joy

"Fear not," then said the angel,
"let nothing you affright;
this day is born a Savior,
the true and radiant light,
to free all those who trust in him
from Satan's pow'r and might."

Oh tidings of comfort, tidings of joy
Let the bells ring out their carol,
Joy to the world
Let all Heav’n and nature sing
As we praise the newborn King

Hark how the bells, all seem to tell
Jesus was born, that Christmas morn
Love coming down, hope in the sound of the bells

Now to the Lord sing praises,
all you within this place,
and in true love and fellowship
each other now embrace;
this holy tide of Christmas
is filled with heav'nly grace.

Oh tidings of comfort, tidings of joy
Let the bells ring out their carol,
Joy to the world
Let all Heav’n and nature sing
As we praise the newborn King

Hark how the bells, all seem to tell, every Noel
Jesus was born, that Christmas morn, come and adore
Love coming down, peace all around, Hope in the sound of the bells
Of comfort and joy
