"Make us strong" was Israel's plea
They wanted a king but didn't see
That "Saul a leader tall and grand"
Would fail them with pride and fear at hand
But God would sustain Israel's line of kings
A shepherd boy anointed "with a heart that sings"
We hope in earthly kings and "their power fades"
Like Saul they fall; "their words betray"
But "our help comes from" Christ on high
"The King of kings" who will never die
"And the government will rest upon His shoulders"
"He will be called our Wonderful Counselor"
"Mighty God Everlasting Father" "Prince of Peace"
"Of His government and peace there'll be no end"
"Christ reigns on David's throne with righteousness forevermore"
God chose David "a man after His own heart"
Better than Saul set apart
Yet as a king his hands would fall
His sins and pride would mar them all
But from this line a greater King
"Justice and peace" His reign would bring
We hope in earthly kings and "their power fades"
Like David's fall "when sin outweighed"
But "our help comes from" Christ on high
"The King of kings" who will never die
"And the government will rest upon His shoulders"
"He will be called our Wonderful Counselor"
"Mighty God Everlasting Father" "Prince of Peace"
"Of His government and peace there'll be no end"
"Christ reigns on David's throne with righteousness forevermore"
A manger held the promised King
Born where lowly creatures sing
"In humble obedience" He stayed low
Where Saul and David failed to go
From lowly birth to God's right side
Jesus Christ "now reigns on high"
"Do not trust in princes they turn to dust"
Their plans all fail but "our God is just"
"Blessed are those whose hope is in the Lord"
The newborn King "forever adored"
"He upholds the oppressed" "the blind will see"
"The Lord reigns forever" "for eternity"
"And the government will rest upon His shoulders"
"He will be called our Wonderful Counselor"
"Mighty God Everlasting Father" "Prince of Peace"
"Of His government and peace there'll be no end"
"Christ reigns on David's throne with righteousness forevermore"
"And the government will rest upon His shoulders"
"He will be called our Wonderful Counselor"
"Mighty God Everlasting Father" "Prince of Peace"
"Of His government and peace there'll be no end"
"Christ reigns on David's throne with righteousness forevermore"
