TO US A CHILD OF HOPE IS BORN
"Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government
shall be upon His shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of
Peace." Isaiah 9:6
Words: John Morison, 1781, alt.
Music: "I Do Believe," Traditional English melody.
To us a Child of hope is born,
To us a Son is giv'n,
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heav'n.
His Name shall be the Prince of Peace,
Forevermore adorned,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord.
His pow'r, 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 giv'n,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The mighty Lord of heav'n.
