God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing
  you dismay;
  Remember, Christ our 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.
    In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe
  was born
  And laid within a manger upon this
  blessed morn;
  The which His mother Mary did nothing take
  in scorn
  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,
  O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
  O tidings of comfort and joy.
