[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 power
When we were gone astray
[Chorus]
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Oh 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
[Chorus]
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
[Guitar Solo]
