A hymn from Isaiah 9 : 1-6
Story behind the song
Christmas season
Lyrics
Wonderful Counselor
Verse 1
Unto us a Child is given
Joy from heaven appeared;
And wonderful His holy name,
The Prince of Peace drew near.
His rest He gives the weary,
Radiant light we see;
Counselor and faithful Shepherd,
Whose reign shall ever be.
Chorus
Wonderful Counselor;
Mighty God.
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace
Light for every nation,
Joy for every heart;
Let His love forever guide us,
Peace shall not depart.
Verse 2
Born to David’s holy throne,
Justice in His hand;
He breaks the chains of fear and sin,
His Healing fills the land.
His zeal protects His chosen,
Jesus, strong to guide;
And we will be with Him forever,
Our debt He satisfied.
Verse 3 (optional)
Let His brightness and His Glory
Shine on the weak and worn,
To make the darkness go away;
Take heart, for hope is born.
His mercy lasts forever,
Compassionate and sure;
Always with us in His presence,
His love shall still endure.
Chorus
Tag-
Let His love forever guide us,
Peace shall not depart.
