Wonderful, Counselor!

lyricist: Grant Tullar, 1900
Composer: Isaac Meredith

The people that in dark­ness walked

Have seen a won­drous light

A light that beamed afar

The bright and morn­ing star

And those that dwelt in death’s dark vale

Have felt their joy in­crease

Their con­stant theme shall be

All hail the Prince of Peace.

Wonderful

Coun­sel­or!

The ev­er­last­ing Fa­ther

And the Prince of Peace

Wonderful

Coun­sel­or!

The ev­er­last­ing Fa­ther

And the Prince of Peace.

As men re­joice when they di­vide

The spoils which they have gained

So shall it ev­er be

When Christ shall set them free.

For He shall break the shoul­der’s staff

The rod of the op­pressed

And ev­ery bat­tle won

As vic­tors we shall rest.

For un­to us a child is born

To us a son is giv’n;

His king­dom shall in­crease

And nev­er

nev­er cease

Upon the throne of Da­vid shall

He reign for­ev­er­more

Till ev­ery knee shall bow

And eve­ry heart ad­ore.
