233: To Us a Child of Hope is Born
1 To us a child of hope is born,
To us a son is giv'n,
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heav'n.
2 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
For evermore adored,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord;
3 His pow'r, increasing, still shall spread,
His reign no end shall know;
Justice shall guard his throne above,
And peace abound below.
4 To us a Child of hope is born,
To us a Son is giv'n,
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
The mighty Lord of heav'n.
