G               D             C         G
While shepherds watched their flocks by night...
    Em            C
All seated on the ground,
    C            D
The angel of the Lord came down,
    D            G  C  G  C  G  C  D  C
And glory shone around.
 
G               D       C      G
Fear not,” said he, for mighty dread...
    Em                    C
Had seized their troubled minds;
     C                D
Glad tidings of great joy I bring
   D             G
To you and all mankind.
   D             G
To you and all mankind.
 
 
 
   G          Bm          C
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy
            D
Comfort and Joy
   G          D           G  C  G  C  G  C  D  C
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy
 
 
G         D       C         G
To you in David’s town this day
   Em              C
Is born of David’s line
  C               D
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
    D                 G
And this shall be the sign
 
    G        D        C           G
The heav’nly Babe you there shall find
   Em            C
To human view displayed,
    C                 D
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
    D           G
And in a manger laid
 
 
   G          Bm          C
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy
            D
Comfort and Joy
   G          D           G  C  G  C  G  C  D  C
Oh Tidings of comfort and joy
 
 
      G        D       C        G
Thus spoke the Seraph; and forthwith
 Em                C
Appeared a shining throng
   C               D
Of angels praising God, who thus
 D                     G
Addressed their joyful song
 
 
    G     D     C      G
All glory be to God on high,
    Em              C
And to the Earth be peace;
    C                    D
Goodwill henceforth from Heav’n to men
  Em             Em - C - G
Begin and never cease
  C        D     G
Begin and never cease
