1
To us a Child of hope is born, to us a Son is given. 
Him shall the tribes of earth obey, him all the hosts of heaven. 
Him shall the tribes of earth obey, him all the hosts of heaven.

2
His name shall be the Prince of peace, forevermore adored, 
the Wonderful, the Counselor, the great and mighty Lord. 
the Wonderful, the Counselor, the great and mighty Lord. 

3
His power, increasing, still shall spread, his reign no end shall know.
Justice shall guard his throne above, and peace abound below. 
Justice shall guard his throne above, and peace abound below.
