Let nothing you dismay

For Jesus Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray (1)

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our heavenly Father

A blessed angel came

And unto certain shepherds

Brought tidings of the same (2)

How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by name

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.

* music *

Now to the Lord sing praises

All you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmas

All others doth deface

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.
