LIGHT HATH SHINED ON THE SHADOW OF DEATH

 The people that walked in darkness 
have seen a great light: they that 
dwell in the land of the shadow 
of death, upon them hath the light 
shined. Thou hast multiplied the 
nation, and not increased the joy: 
they joy before thee according to 
the joy in harvest, and as men 
rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For thou hast broken the yoke 
of his burden, and the staff of his 
shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, 
as in the day of Midian.  For every 
battle of the warrior is with confused 
noise, and garments rolled in blood; 
but this shall be with burning and fuel 
of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto 
us a son is given: and the government 
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name 
shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, 
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, 
The Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of 
his government and peace there shall be 
no end, upon the throne of David, and 
upon his kingdom, to order it, and to 
establish it with judgment and with 
justice from henceforth even for ever. 
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will 
perform this.  The Lord sent a word 
into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon 
Israel. And all the people shall know...........

Isaiah 9:2-9
