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 
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy 
 
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. 
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy 
 
"Fear not then," said the Angel, "Let nothing you affright, 
This day is born a Saviour Of a pure Virgin bright, 
To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might." 
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of 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. 
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of 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. 
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 doth deface. 
O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
