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.
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.
