The first two verses of a traditional Christmas carol. The earliest known printed version is dated to ca 1760.
The lyrics are a variation and mix of different versions, but the closest version is featured in Carols, New and Old by Henry Ramsden Bramley and John Stainer, around 1871.
[Verse 1]
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 for we have gone astray
[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 2]
In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger upon that blessed morn
And to his Mother Mary's taken nothing for her scorn
[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
