Here is a new contemporary Christmas hymn, shouting the brilliance of heaven bursting upon the earthly stage, a celebration of the birth of Jesus in a song of praise!
From the album, “We Have Seen the Dawning Light,” a collection of 10 soulful contemporary Christian Christmas melodies. These songs are Incarnational poetry, giving praise to the Savior who has loved us to the full and saved us from our sins!
Jesus, Our Prophecy of Peace
A world in sin, a broken race,
A shining light, of purest grace.
The word fulfilled, the dawn of joy,
The woman’s seed our ancient foe will now destroy.
The future sign to Abraham,
Our God to send his gentle lamb.
A star to rise, a septer shown,
The gracious King to claim a people for his own.
Wonderful Counselor and strong mighty Lord,
Father Forever and Prince of all Peace.
Sweet baby Jesus, our perfect reward,
Giver of grace, broken sinner’s release.
O unto us a child is born,
On this our holy Christmas morn,
The Son of God is now revealed.
Our sure salvation he has sealed.
The glory comes, our longings cease.
Jesus, our prophecy of peace.
A virgin graced, she who believed,
A vessel pure, who now received,
The Son of God, our Lord most high,
The righteous Savior who has come to earth to die.
The manger throne, the coming age,
A living word, salvation’s stage,
Our holy God upon the earth,
The child who blessed the world with this his humble birth.
Wonderful Counselor and strong mighty Lord,
Father Forever and Prince of all Peace,
Sweet baby Jesus, our perfect reward,
Giver of grace, broken sinner’s release.
O unto us a child is born,
On this our holy Christmas morn,
The Son of God is now revealed.
Our sure salvation he has sealed.
The glory comes, our longings cease.
Jesus, our prophecy of peace.
The servant King, who left his throne,
A humble child, so all alone.
A Shepherd strong, to lead his sheep,
A love so pure and righteous, glory oh so deep.
O child of God, anointed One,
The word made flesh, the chosen Son.
The light from light, our truest friend,
Who walked the road of execution to the end.
Sweet infant child who sleeps in the straw,
God of all ages, fills us with awe.
Angels in heaven sing out with joy,
Kingdom established, sin to destroy.
The living well of water pure,
The prophet born, his word secure.
The One who walks upon the sea,
The Lord who gives his very life for you and me.
The lowly child in stable stall,
The One to save us from the fall.
The perfect Son upon the cross,
Who gives his life so we may gain from heaven’s loss.
Wonderful Counselor and strong mighty Lord,
Father Forever and Prince of all Peace,
Sweet baby Jesus, our perfect reward,
Giver of grace, broken sinner’s release.
O unto us a child is born,
On this our holy Christmas morn,
The Son of God is now revealed.
Our sure salvation he has sealed.
The glory comes, our longings cease.
Jesus, our prophecy of peace.
