For Jesus Christ our Savior, Was born on Christmas Day; To save us all from Satan's power, When we were gone astray. [Chorus] O tidings of comfort and joy, For Jesus Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas day. 2. In Bethlehem, in Jury, 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] 3. 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] 4. Fear not, then said the Angel, Let nothing you affright, This day is born a Savior, Of virtue, power, and might; So frequently to vanquish all, The friends of Satan quite; [Chorus] 5. 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, This blessed babe to find: [Chorus] 6. But when to Bethlehem they came, Whereas this infant lay They found him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneeling, Unto the Lord did pray: [Chorus] 7. With sudden joy and gladness The shepherds were beguiled, To see the Babe if Israel, Before His mother mild, O then with joy and cheerfulness Rejoice, each mother's child. [Chorus] 8. 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, Doth bring redeeming grace. [Chorus] 9. God bless the ruler of this house, And send him long to reign, And many a merry Christmas May live to see again; Among your friends and kindred That live both far and near. Alternate [Chorus:] That God send you a happy new year, Happy new year, And God send you a happy new year. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
