THE PRINCE OF PEACE Min: The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. Min: And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. Min: Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; `For Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength and my song. He also has become my salvation. Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. Min: In that day you will say: Praise the Lord, call upon His name. Declare His deeds among the peoples, make mention that His name is exalted. Min: Sing to the Lord, For He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst! Min: I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth. For He who has mercy on them will lead them, even by the springs of water He will guide them. Min: Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted. Min: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
