God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Saturn's power when we're gone astray All tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy All tidings of comfort and joy . . . . . . In Bethlehem in Zurich, this blessed faith was born And led within a mentor upon this blessed morn To which his mother Mary did nothing take in scorn All tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy All tidings of comfort and joy From God our Heavenly Father a blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same Of that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name All tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy All tidings of comfort and joy
