To free all those who trust in Him from Satan's power and might"

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

　　The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind

　　And left their flocks a feeding in tempest, storm, and wind

　　And went to Bethlehem straightway, the Son of God to find

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

　　And when they came to Bethlehem where our dear Saviour lay

　　They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay

　　His Mother Mary kneeling down unto the Lord did pray

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

　　Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place

　　And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace

　　The holy tide of Christmas all other doth deface

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

　　Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
