- 1To us a Child of hope is born,To us a Son is giv’n;Him shall the tribes of earth obey,And all the hosts of heav’n.His Name shall be the Prince of Peace,Forevermore adored;The Wonderful, the Counselor,The great and mighty Lord.
- 2His pow’r, increasing, still shall spread;His reign no end shall know;Justice shall guard His throne above,And peace abound below.
