Verse 1

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 power
When we were gone astray

Refrain

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heavenly Father
The blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem
Was born the Son of God by name

Chorus 1

Oh tidings of comfort
Tidings of joy
Let the bells ring out their carols
Joy to the world
Let all Heaven and nature sing
As we praise the newborn King

Chorus 2

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

Verse 3

Fear not then said the angels
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior
A true and radiant light
To free all those
Who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might

Oh tidings of comfort
Tidings of joy
Let the bells ring out their carols
Joy to the world
Let all Heaven 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 heavenly grace

Oh tidings of comfort
Tidings of joy
Let the bells ring out their carols
Joy to the world
Let all Heaven and nature sing
As we praise the newborn King

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