[Verse 1]
Em
God rest you merry, gentlemen
C              B7
Let nothing you dismay
Em
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
C              B7
was born upon this day
Am               G
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
Em   D
when we were gone  astray.

[Chorus]
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy
D
Comfort and joy
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy.

[Verse 2]
Em
From God our heavenly Father
C             B7
A blessed angel came
Em
And unto certain shepherds
C              B7
Brought tidings of the same
Am            G
How that in Bethlehem was born
Em            D
The Son of God by name.

[Ver]
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy
D
Comfort and joy
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy.

[Verse 3]
Em
The shepherds at those tidings
C              B7
Rejoiced much in mind
Em
And left their flocks a-feeding
C                  B7
in tempest, storm and wind
Am            G
And went to Bethlehem
Em              D
Straightway this blessed Babe to find.

[Chorus]
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy
D
Comfort and joy
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy.

[Verse 4]
Em
But when to Bethlehem
C                B7
They came whereat this Infant lay
Em
They found Him in a manger
C            B7
where oxen feed on hay
Am          G
His mother Mary kneeling
Em              D
Unto the Lord did pray.

[Chorus]
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy
D
Comfort and joy
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy.

[Verse 5]
Em
Now to the Lord sing praises
C               B7
All you within this place
Em
And with true love and brotherhood
C           B7
Each other now embrace
Am           G
This holy tide of Christmas
Em           D
All other doth deface.

[Chorus]
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy
D
Comfort and joy
G          B7          Em
O tidings of comfort and joy.
