*
Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed ,
As when at first He lightly esteemed The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali ,
And afterward more heavily oppressed her ,
By the way of the sea ,
beyond the Jordan ,
In Galilee of the Gentiles .
*
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 .
*
You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy ;
They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest ,
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil .
*
For You have broken the yoke of his burden And the staff of his shoulder ,
The rod of his oppressor ,
As in the day of Midian .
*
For every warrior '
s sandal from the noisy battle ,
And garments rolled in blood ,
Will be used for burning and fuel of fire .
*
For unto us a Child is born ,
Unto us a Son is given ;
And the government will be upon His shoulder .
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 .
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this .
