Listened to the album that features this song in the car this afternoon.
It’s worth posting again as a Sunday song.
From the Jill Phillips and Andy Gullahorn album Christmas.
The lyrics:
1.
Nations that long in darkness walked
Have now beheld a glorious light;
On them who dwelt in shades of death
The light hath shined a heav’nly bright.
For lo! the virgin’s Child is born;
To us the Son of God is giv’n.
Upon His shoulders shall be laid
The government of earth and Heav’n.
2.
His Name is called Wonderful,
The Counselor, the mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
Peace dearly purchased with His blood.
His government shall know no bounds,
But far and wide o’er all extend;
And happy peace, the glorious fruits
Of His just reign, shall know no end.
Bridge.
And everything is gonna change
And everything’s already changed
Closing refrain.
For lo! the virgin’s Child is born;
To us the Son of God is giv’n.
Upon His shoulders shall be laid
The government of earth and Heav’n.
For lo! the virgin’s Child is born;
To us the Son of God is giv’n.
Upon His shoulders shall be laid
The government of earth and Heav’n.
