{comment: Verse 1}
God [Dm]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 [F]tidings of comfort and [Dm]joy,
Comfort and [C/E]joy!
O [F]tidings of [C/E]comfort and [Dm]joy,
{end_of_chorus}

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

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

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