Tidings (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Israel Houghton & New Breed]
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 pow'r
When we were gone astray

[Chorus: Israel Houghton & New Breed]
Oh tidings (tidings), tidings (tidings)
Of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 2: Israel Houghton & New Breed]
In Bethlehem, in Israel
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn

[Chorus: Israel Houghton & New Breed]
Oh tidings (tidings), tidings (tidings)
Of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

[Tag: Israel Houghton & New Breed]
Joy to the world
The Lord has come to Earth
With comfort and joy to all
Who received His love

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 2: Israel Houghton & New Breed]
Tidings (tidings), tidings (tidings)
Of comfort and joy
Oh tidings (tidings)
Tidings of comfort and joy (comfort and joy to the world)

Tidings (tidings), tidings (tidings)
Of comfort and joy, yeah
Oh tidings (tidings)
Tidings of comfort and joy (comfort and joy to the world)

Oh tidings (tidings), oh tidings (tidings)
Of comfort and joy
Oh tidings (tidings)
Tidings of comfort and joy (comfort and joy to the world)

Tidings (tidings), tidings (tidings)
Of comfort and joy
Tidings (tidings)
Tidings of comfort and joy (comfort and joy to the world)

Tidings (tidings), oh tidings (tidings)
Of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy

[Outro: Israel Houghton]
Comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
