Tune: Carol (Willis)
('It came upon the midnight clear')
Isaiah 9 v.2-7 parts
********
The people that walked in darkness
Have seen great light, no less
They that in the land of shadow
Of death dwell, now do tell
That upon them has the light shined
The Light of life divine
Dispelling blackness, gloom, and fear
Messiah's birth appears
For the Lord He has multiplied
The nation, not denied
Them joy, it be as he harvest
Joy, they are truly blessed
And it be like when conquering
Armies their spoil do bring
In celebration victory
The Messiah all see
The yoke of the people's burden
Be broken, they set free
And weapons wherewith enemy
Oppressed, now destroyed be
For unto us a child is born
Bringing redemption's dawn
Unto us is given a son
Jesus the holy one
And He shall rule and reign for e'er
His kingdom decrease ne'er
His name shall be called Wonderful
And Counsellor to all
The Mighty God, the Prince of Peace
Whose rule shall never cease
He the Father everlasting
Here let His praises ring
