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.

Oh Tidings of comfort and joy
      D
Comfort and Joy
  G     D      G C G C G C D C

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
