Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
I like hearing this song when the voices of men ring out this melody low and deep. And I love to hear this carol sung on the streets by wandering singers, as they stroll along.
The words of this song are powerful, and essential to our lives as believers.
There's a verse that says this in Psalm 42: Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God...
This carol reminds us of the same thing, that there's no reason to dismay. Why?
It's because Christ came to save us from Satan's power. Satan wants to destroy our minds, souls, and bodies, but he has no authority to do that - unless we give it to him. Jesus has all authority to save us - if we let him.
That, my friend, is truly a "tiding" of great comfort and joy.
Rejoice (the opposite of being dismayed)!
