Gone rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, for Jesus Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day to save us all from Satan's powers when we were gone astray. Glad tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, glad tidings of comfort and joy. In Bethlehem in Israel this blessed babe was born and laid within a manger upon this blessed morn, to which his mother Mary did nothing take in scorn. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, oh, tidings of comfort and joy. 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. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, oh, tidings of comfort and joy. O not then said the angel, let nothing you affright, this day is born a Savior of up your virgin bride, to free all those who trust in Him from Satan's power and might. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, oh, tidings of comfort and joy. Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place, and with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace this holy tide of Christmas, all others that we face. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, oh, tidings of comfort and joy. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
