To us a child is born from heaven

1 To us a child is born from Heav’n;
To us the Son of God is giv’n;
So Judah’s ancient prophet sings,
And Gentiles hail the news he brings.

2 Gentiles in Jesu’s name shall trust,
And of His glories make their boast;
The government of worlds He made
Upon His shoulders shall be laid.

3 His name the Wonderful shall be;
His wonders Heav’n and earth shall see:
The Counselor of truth and grace,
Who leads in paths of righteousness.

4 The mighty God, that glorious name,
His works and Word join to proclaim:
The everlasting Father, He—
And the whole church His family.

5 The Prince of Peace, on David’s throne
And nations yet unborn shall own
His sovereign and His gracious sway;
Glad of the honor to obey.

6 Justice and judgment He’ll maintain—
To everlasting ages reign:
And His blest empire shall increase,
’Till time, with all its movements, cease.

7 Our faith in grateful triumph boasts
These wonders of the Lord of Hosts:
And trusts the zeal that formed the plan
To perfect what that zeal began.
