This song is based on one of the most well known Christmas bible readings, where Isaiah prophesies the coming of Jesus. It's a simple 3-part harmony, with each part layering on top of the last building to a crescendo of praise. Lyrically also, each part builds on the previous one, bringing our focus in more and more onto Jesus. I hope you will find this a valuable addition to your personal and gathered worship, both at Christmas and throughout the year.

Wonderful
Counsellor,
Mighty God,
Prince of Peace.

Awesome and wonderful,
Jesus our Counsellor,
you are Almighty God,
Prince of Peace.

Jesus Christ,
God with us,
Immanuel,
Prince of Peace.

This is so simple and powerful. Really easy for any congregation to pickup, and makes you imagine angels singing!

This song has been an easy way to encourage our non-music reading choir to sing in parts. A lovely, worshipful song.

We did this last Christmas with some teens/young adults from our congregation, but moved the tenor part down since I had a bass. Then two altos on the melody and one soprano on countermelody. We enjoyed it and the congregation enjoyed the song and our young folks.

Our youth choir sang this for Lessons and Carols this year. They love singing solos, so each one of them took a turn at the microphone, singing a part 3X, before another singer rotated in. When they finished, the sopranos, altos, and baritones came in as groups. They sang it one time through, a cappella, the rhythm section came back in, and they sang it home. My husband said, "You didn't tell me I was going to need kleenex for the first song." We love this piece.
