And now faith, hope and love abide...
- St. Paul

Among us all

© 2002 Matt Henry

In the prophet's words of old
The birth of Jesus was foretold:
Wonderful counselor, Mighty God,

Promising faith and hope and love will not cease,
For born among us all is the Prince of Peace.

In the fields where shepherds keep
Careful watch o'er all their sheep
Soon to be carried by a shepherd too,

Promising faith and hope and love will not cease,
For born among us all is the Prince of Peace.

In the voice of angel choirs
The son of God their song inspires
Glory and peace abound, heaven and earth,

Promising faith and hope and love will not cease,
For born among us all is the Prince of Peace

In a manger, not a throne,
A king is born, God's very own,
Royalty blessing us, rich in grace,

Promising faith and hope and love will not cease,
For born among us all is the Prince of Peace.

In the trust that Mary shows,
And the faith that Joseph knows,
Emmanuel comes to us, Christ is born,

Promising faith and hope and love will not cease,
For born among us all is the Prince of Peace.

In our hearts, God's love we know
Life's creator seeks to grow,
Longing to give us all blessed life.

Promising faith and hope and love will not cease,
For born among us all is the Prince of Peace.
