Unto us a Child is given,
Christ our Saviour brings release;
Counsellor, Eternal Father,
God made man, and Prince of Peace.

Born of Mary, gentle Virgin,
By the Spirit of the Lord;
From eternal ages spoken,
This the mighty Father's Word.

Love and truth in him shall flower,
From his strength their vigour take.
Branches that are bare shall blossom;
Joy that slept begins to wake.

Praise the everlasting Father,
And the Word, his Only Son,
Praise them with the Holy Spirit,
Perfect Trinity in One.
