about

An old English Carol dating back to the 16th century or earlier. Based on Luke 2 from the Bible. It's always been one of my favorites to sing in many different styles.

lyrics

Verse 1
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 pow'r
When we were gone astray

Chorus
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Verse 2
From God our heavenly 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

SOLO

B Sec.
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray

Chorus
O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Verse 3
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace

This holy child of Christmas
Shall fill our hearts with grace

Chorus
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
