But [E] rest ye merry gentlemen, [Em] let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ the slave who was born on Christmas Day
To save us of the Satan's curse when we have gone astray
O tidings of comfort [B] and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort [E] and joy
[Em]
[Am]
[Em] [E] [F]
[Em] [E]
[Em] For nothing said the angel, let nothing you upright
This day is born of sin, here pure and large and bright
To free all those who trust in him, from Satan's power of might
O [Am]
tidings of [Em] comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
[E]
[Em] [F#] [Em]
[E] Shepherds, serpents, titans, rejoice at a marching mime
And let their flocks of beading, tempt the storm and wind
And when two earthly things regret this blessed fate to find
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
[Em] [E]

Then two earthly hen came, where at the sin-front lay
They found him in a manger, rocks and peat and hay
His mother married the idling, and to the Lord did pray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of [Em] comfort and joy
To the Lord's praise, his own within this place
And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace
The holy child of Christmas, our last of the feast
O [E] tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and [B] joy
