For Unto Us a Child Is Born, from Handel’s “The Messiah”–and from the Bible, Isaiah Chapter 9: yes, someone did request this a week ago, but we don’t mind posting your favorite hymns as often as you ask for them. This time we have the Kings College Choir.
The two hymns currently leading the Christmas Carol Contest are tied with 19 views apiece.
We know these words, don’t we? For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder… (Isaiah 9:6) And we also find them here, in Handel’s Messiah.

(Yesterday’s leader was Mary, Did You Know?, with 16 views.)
“Thewhiterabbit” recommended this: from G.F. Handel’s The Messiah, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, For Unto Us a Child is Born. The text, of course, is from Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.”
Come, Lord Jesus, Come!
This is part of Handel’s Messiah, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra; and for once I can give you the lyrics.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace… –Isaiah 9:6
