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 pow'r when we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
He has come for us, this Jesus
He's the hope for all mankind
He has come for us, the Messiah
Born to give us life
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
He has come for us, this Jesus
He's the hope for all mankind
He has come for us, the Messiah
Born to give us life
All the angels sing, hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born
All the children sing, hallelujah
He is Christ the Lord
He has come for us, this Jesus
He's the hope for all mankind
He has come for us, the Messiah
Born to give us life
He is born to give us life
Hallelujah
The Savior's born
Hallelujah
He is the Christ
