  Komzoù
  God rest ye merry, gentlemen
  Let nothing you dismay 
  for Jesus Christ our Saviour
  Was born upon this day (pe Was born on Christmas Day)
  To save us all from Satan's power
  When we were gone astray
  O tidings of comfort and joy,
  Comfort and joy
  O tidings of comfort and joy.
  In Bethlehem, in Israel,
  This blessed Babe was born
  And laid within a manger
  Upon this blessed morn
  The which His Mother Mary
  Did nothing take in scorn
  O tidings of comfort and joy,
  Comfort and joy
  O 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.
  O tidings of comfort and joy,
  Comfort and joy
  O tidings of comfort and joy.
  "Fear not then," said the Angel,
  "Let nothing you affright,
  This day is born a Saviour
  Of a pure Virgin bright,
  To free all those who trust in Him
  From Satan's power and might."
  O tidings of comfort and joy,
  Comfort and joy
  O tidings of comfort and joy.
  The shepherds at those tidings
  Rejoiced much in mind,
  And left their flocks a-feeding
  In tempest, storm and wind:
  And went to Bethlehem straightway
  The Son of God to find.
  O tidings of comfort and joy,
  Comfort and joy
  O tidings of comfort and joy.
  And when they came to Bethlehem
  Where our dear Saviour lay,
  They found Him in a manger,
  Where oxen feed on hay;
  His Mother Mary kneeling down,
  Unto the Lord did pray.
  O tidings of comfort and joy,
  Comfort and joy
  O 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 other doth deface.
  O tidings of comfort and joy,
  Comfort and joy
  O tidings of comfort and joy.
