The incomparable f o o t n o t e M a v e n invited all the Geneabloggers to go Blog Caroling! You're supposed to
post your favorite Christmas carol. WHAT! Favorite! But I don't have
just ONE favorite! Ah well, that means I can participate in Blog
Caroling every year, with a different favorite each year!
This year, my choice is "For unto us a Child is born," a chorus from Handel's Messiah that is simply verse 6 of chapter 9 of the Book of Isaiah. Recently, I posted about singing this 25 years ago.

I wish I had a video or digital recording of our performance - but I don't. Here are the lyrics:
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
Counselor
The Mighty God
The Everlasting Father
The Prince of Peace.
