From [|][Em]God our heavenly [G]Father a [|]

The [|][Em]shepherds at those [G]tidings 
re[|][C]joiced much in [B7]mind, And [|][Em]left

straightway this [|][Em]blessed Babe to [D]find

But [|][Em]when to Bethle[G]hem they came where [|]
[C]at this Infant [B7]lay, They [|][Em]found Him in

on [B7]hay, His [|][Am]mother Mary [G]kneeling 
un[|][Em]to the Lord did [D]pray
 
CHORUS
O [|][G]tidings of [B7]comfort and [|][Em]joy, 
comfort and [D]joy, O [|][G]tidings of 
[B7]comfort and [|][Em]joy
 
VERSE 5
Now [|][Em]to the Lord sing [G]praises, all [|]
[C]you within this [B7]place, And [|][Em]with true 
love and [G]brotherhood each [|][C]other now 
em[B7]brace, This [|][Am]holy tide of [G]Christmas 
all [|][Em]other doth de[D]face

O [|][G]tidings of [B7]comfort and [|][Em]joy, 
comfort and [D]joy, O [|][G]tidings of 
[B7]comfort and [|][Em]joy
