Traditional. publ.1853
Em
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
    C              B7
let nothing you dismay 
  Em
Remember Christ our Savior
    C                 B7
was born on Christmas Day
   Am               G
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
     Em             D
when we were gone a-stray

chorus:
  G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
            D
comfort and joy!
  G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy

additional verses:
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.
