"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given... and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). "God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).
God has not given the spirit of fear,
But rather of power, of love, and sound mind.
How wondrously all of these virtues appear
In all of the names of our Savior we find!
Wonderful, Counselor: In Him we have found
Our soundness of mind in a world insane!
The Mighty God: Here is omnipotence found
Wherever His Spirit of power will reign.
The glorious Father is seen in the Son
With life everlasting forever above.
With mercy and truth the Prince of Peace won
Redemption imparting His Spirit of love.
O Lord, we have found in Your great reputation
Our nurture in all of Your names thus reflected.
We thank You for grace that imparted salvation,
As we, by Your Spirit, are daily perfected.
