Christmas and Justice   

Peace on Earth  - 19th century hymn  

It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold:

"Peace on the earth, good will to men,

From heaven's all-gracious King!" 

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing. 

Prophecy

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,

Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.

He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom,

establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness 

from that time on and forever.

The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Isaiah 9:6-7
