The Light -

The people walking in darkness

Have seen a great light;

On those living in the shadow

A light has dawned.

You’ve enlarged the nation

Increased their joy;

They rejoice before you

As people rejoice at the harvest

For you have shattered the yoke that burdens them,

The rod of their oppressor.

Because to us a child is born

A son is given to us.

And the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace

There will be no end

He’ll reign over his kingdom

Upholding it with justice and righteousness

From that time on and forever.
