[Verse 1]
This is the truth sent from above
The truth of God, the God of love
Therefore, don't turn me from your door
But harken all, both rich and poor
[Verse 2]
The first thing which I will relate
Is that God did man create
The next thing which to you I'll tell
Woman was made with man to dwell
[Verse 3]
Then after this twas God's own choice
To place them both in paradise
There to remain from evil free
Except they ate of such a tree
[Verse 4]
And they did eat which was a sin
And thus their ruin did begin
Ruined themselves, both you and me
And all of their posterity
[Verse 5]
Thus we were heirs to endless woes
Till God, the Lord did interpose
And so a promise soon did run
That He would redeem us by His Son
That He would redeem us by His Son
[Verse 6]
Come all you worthy gentlemen
That may be standing by
Christ our blessed Savior
Was born on Christmas day
The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray
Oh, we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy
[Verse 7]
The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray
Oh, we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy
[Verse 8]
Christ our blessed Savior
Now in the manger lay
He's lying in the manger
While the oxen feed on hay
The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray
Oh, we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy
[Verse 9]
The blessed virgin Mary
Unto the Lord did pray
Oh, we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy
[Verse 10]
Tidings of joy
Comfort and tidings of joy
Oh, we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy
Tidings of joy, tidings of joy
[Verse 11]
On Christmas night, all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring
On Christmas night, all Christians sing
To hear the news the angels bring
[Verse 12]
News of great joy, news of great mirth
News of our merciful King's birth
News of great joy, news of great mirth
News of our merciful King's birth
[Verse 13]
When sin departs before Thy grace
Then life and health come in its place
When sin departs before Thy grace
Then life and health come in its place
[Verse 14]
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the new born King
All for to see the new born King
Angels and men with joy may sing
[Verse 15]
God bless the ruler of this house
And long on may He reign
From out of darkness we have light
Which makes the angels sing this night
[Verse 16]
Many happy Christmases
He live to see again
From out of darkness we have light
Which makes the angels sing this night
[Verse 17]
God bless our generation
Who live both far and near
Glory to God and peace to men
And we wish them a happy New Year
Both now and evermore
Amen
[Verse 18]
God bless the ruler of this house
And long on may He reign
Many happy Christmases
He live to see again
[Verse 19]
God bless our generation
Who live both far and near
And we wish them a happy, a happy New Year
A happy New Year
A happy New Year
A happy New Year
A happy New Year
A happy New Year
[Verse 20]
Oh, we wish you a happy
A happy New Year
Both now and evermore
Amen
