Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our savior

Was born upon this day
   Dm               C
To save us all from Satan's power

From God our heavenly father

This blessed angel came
    Am   E       Am    E
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

O tidings of comfort and joy

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading, still proceeding,

Am             E            Am
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
Am             E          Am
Gold I bring to crown him again

King forever, ceasing never,

Over us all to reign.

King and God and sacrifice

Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Worship him God most high
