{comment: Verse 1}
God [Em]rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.

{start_of_chorus}                      
O [G]tidings of comfort and [Em]joy,  
Comfort and [D/F#]joy!
O [G]tidings of [D/F#]comfort and [Em]joy,
{end_of_chorus}

{comment: Verse 2}
From [Em]God our heavenly Father, 
A [C]blessed angel [B]came;               
And [Em]unto certain shepherds 
Brought [C]tidings of the [B]same;
How [Am]that in Bethle[G]hem was born 
The [Em]Son of God by [D/F#]name.

{comment: Verse 3}       
Fear [Em]not, then, said the angel, 
Let [C]nothing you [B]affright;            
This [Em]day is born a Savior 
Of a [C]pure virgin [B]bright;
To [Am]free all those who [G]trust in him
From [Em]Satan’s power and [D/F#]might.

{comment: Verse 4}     
The [Em]shepherds at those tidings 
Re[C]joiced much in [B]mind,              
And [Em]left their flocks a-feeding,
In [C]tempest, storm, and [B]wind,
And [Am]went to Bethle[G]hem straightway, 
The [Em]Son of God to [D/F#]find.
