Remember, Christ, our Saviour 
     F                 E       
Was born on Christmas day 
    Dm                 C         
To save us all from Satan's power 
    Am                G
When we were gone astray 
     C           E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy,
             G
Comfort and joy 
     C           E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy 


  Am                         
From God our Heavenly Father 
     F            E
A blessed Angel came; 
  Am 
And unto certain Shepherds  
         F               E
Brought tidings of the same: 
     Dm             C
How that in Bethlehem was born 
     Am             G
The Son of God by Name. 
    C            E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G
Comfort and joy 
    C            E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem 
      F                 E
Where our dear Saviour lay, 
  Am
They found Him in a manger, 
      F             E
Where oxen feed on hay; 
     Dm                  C
His Mother Mary kneeling down, 
   Am               G
Unto the Lord did pray. 
     C           E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G
Comfort and joy 
     C           E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy 


  Am
Now to the Lord sing praises, 
      F               E
All you within this place, 
  Am                   
And with true love and brotherhood 
      F            E
Each other now embrace; 
      Dm              C
This holy tide of Christmas 
     Am           G
All other doth deface. 
    C            E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy, 
             G
Comfort and joy 
     C           E        Am
O tidings of comfort and joy
