14188. Christmas Song

1 Who, who is this, whom angel choirs
Descend to celebrate His birth?
In rapturous songs th’event inspires,
Good will to men, and peace, and peace on earth.

Refrain:
The Wonderful! The Counselor! The mighty God!
The everlasting Father, the everlasting Father;
The Prince of Peace, the Prince, the Prince of Peace.

2 Who, who is this, whose gleaming star,
The wise men guided on their way!
To worship Him who then afar
Down in a lowly, lowly manger lay. [Refrain]

3 Who, who is this, whose life and death,
To save lost man from sin was giv’n!
Who from His throne shall hence come forth
And reign on earth, on earth as now in Heav’n. [Refrain]
