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