This blessed Babe was born

And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn


[Bridge]
    Eb               Bb       G               F
The which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father

A blessed Angel came
    G                                             D
And unto certain Shepherds Brought tidings of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by Name

Good tidings of comfort and joy
