Chapman has an interesting take on this traditional English Christmas carol. The tune emphasizes the minor and Chapman adds a bridge that acts as a lyrical round, based on part of the chorus. Verse 3 was written by Chapman.
[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
When we'd gone astray
[Chorus]
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 2]
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
[Chorus]
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy
Of comfort and joy
[Verse 3]
Now to the Lord sing praises
All within this place
And bring your hearts before Him
His mercy to embrace
For He has shown His love to us
The miracle of grace
[Chorus/Bridge]
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
Tidings of comfort and joy
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy (tidings of comfort and joy)
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy (tidings of comfort and joy)
Comfort, comfort, comfort, and joy (tidings of comfort and joy)
Comfort and joy
[Instrumental Break with intermixed vocals]
Comfort and joy, tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings, tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings, tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings, tidings of comfort and joy
Oooooh, joy
