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.
SlimJim asked for this one–To Us a Child of Hope Is Born, by Cardiphonia. The lyrics, of course, come from Isaiah 9:6, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…”
Hey, everybody, our annual Christmas Carol Contest is ongoing–the Christmas hymn with the most views on the day it was posted, wins!
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.
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, For Unto Us a Child Is Born, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
Christmas is coming! And we have this hymn by special request from TheWhiteRabbit: Unto Us a Child Is Born–by the London Symphony Orchestra, no less. Text from the Bible, Isaiah 9:6. Music by Handel, from The Messiah.
Don’t forget, the Christmas carol contest starts the day after tomorrow.
And the first entry in our Christmas carol contest is by TheWhiteRabbit: For Unto Us a Child is Born, from Handel’s Messiah, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. And you know this Bible verse, here set to music: Isaiah 9:6.
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
