Lyrics

The people walking in darkness
Have seen a great light;
On those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.
You have enlarged the nation
And increased their joy;
They rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest,
They rejoice as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.

For as in the day of Midian
Of Midian's defeat,
You have shattered the yoke that burdens the shoulder bar
The rod of their oppressor.
Each warrior’s boot
Ev'ry boot of battle and every garment rolled in blood
Bloody garment's destined for burning will be fuel for the fire.

Chorus
For unto us
A child is born,
To us a son is given, and the government will be
On his shoulders.
He will be called
Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.

There'll be no end to his greatness
His gov'ment and peace
He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom,
Establishing and upholding it
Justice, righteousness
From that time on and forever the zeal of the Lord,
Yes, the zeal of the Lord, Almighty
will accomplish this.
