Countdown to Christmas  

A Glorious Light  - 18th century hymn

The people in darkness sat,

A glorious light have seen;

The light has shined on them who long

In shades of death have been.

For unto us a child is born,

To us a child is given,

And on His shoulder ever rests

All power on earth and heaven.

His name shall be the Prince of Peace

Forevermore adored,

The Wonderful, the Counselor,

The great and mighty Lord.

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.

Isaiah 9:6-7
