Lyics

To us a Child of hope is born;

To us a Son is given:

Him shall the tribes of earth obey;

Him, all the hosts of heaven.



His name shall be the Prince of peace,

For evermore adored,

The Wonderful, the Counselor,

The great and mighty Lord!



His power, increasing, still shall spread;

His reign no end shall know;

Justice shall guard his throne above,

And peace abound below.



To us a Child of hope is born,

To us a Son is given;

The Wonderful, the Counselor,

The mighty Lord of heaven!
