Lyrics
Verse 1
For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given; on those walking through the dark, a heav'nly light has broken. Oh, what joy he brings to us, a feast of hope and wonder; from our burden we are freed, as we receive the Savior.
Chorus
Oh, sing gloria, sing gloria in excelsis. Sing gloria, sing gloria.
Verse 2
For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government will be upon his blameless shoulders. And his name shall be called All-Wonderful and Counselor, Mighty God and Prince of Peace, our Everlasting Father.
Verse 3
For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given; of his reign and of his peace, there'll never be an ending. He will be on David's throne, and there uphold his kingdom; and with truth and righteousness forever rule the nations.
