And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
“His name shall be Wonderful.” This Babe for whom
even in village inns, there was no room!
The lowing of cattle was His lullaby,
though caroling angels were thronging the sky.
“His name shall be Wonderful.” This Carpenter,
known from His childhood by each villager?
“His name shall be Wonderful.” Spat upon, shamed,
tortured and crucified – how is He named
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
He who one dark day Golgotha’s road trod?
His name shall be Wonderful—Jesus, God’s Son!
God’s Word has promised, and it shall be done!
Not meek and lowly, despised among men,
this same Lord Jesus is coming again
With clouds and great glory, to reign here below,
and all men shall praise Him, and each knee shall bow.
From ocean to ocean His name shall be heard,
wonderful name of our wonderful Lord.
-Martha Snell Nicholson
Merry Christmas!
