								God rest you, merry gentlemen,Ref.: O tidings of comfort and joy,Let nothing you dismay,
 For Jesus Christ our Saviour
 Was born upon this day;
 To save us all from Satan's power
 When we were gone astray.
 
 
Comfort and joy,
 O tidings of comfort and joy!
 
 
 
								From God our heavenly Father Ref.: O tidings of comfort and joy, …A blessed angel came;
 And unto certain shepherds
 Brought tiding of the same;
 How that in Bethlehem was born
 The Son of God by name.
 
 
 
 
								The shepherds at those tidingsRef.: O tidings of comfort and joy, …Rejoyced much in mind
 And left their flocks a-feeding
 In tempest, storm and wind.
 And went to Bethlehem straight-way,
 This blessed babe find
 
 
 
 
								Now to the Lord sing praises, Ref.: O tidings of comfort and joy, …All you within this place,
 And with true love and brotherhood
 Each other now embrace;
 This holy tide of Christmas
 All others does deface.
