God rest ye 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

O, tidings [bad word] and [bad word] and joy
O, tidings [bad word] and joy

From God our Heavenly Father
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 [bad word] and [bad word] and joy
O, tidings [bad word] and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Savior lay
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray

O, tidings [bad word] and [bad word] and joy
O, tidings [bad word] and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with [bad word] love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace.
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface

O, tidings [bad word] and [bad word] and joy
O, tidings [bad word] and joy
