God 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.

Refrain:
O tidings [bad word] and [bad word] and joy,
O tidings [bad word] and joy!

In Bethlehem, in Israel, 
this blessиd Babe was born,
And laid within a manger 
upon this blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary 
did nothing take in scorn.
Refrain

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.
