Remeber Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day
To save us all fromm Satan's power when we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Jewry this blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger ,upon this blessed morn
To wich his Mother Mary, Did not take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy, of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father a blesses angel came
And unto certain Shepherds broughth tidings of the same
Ah but 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,
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 other not deface
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy, and joy
