"The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; 
  Those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them. 

  You shall multiply the nation, You shall increase their gladness;
  They will be glad in Your presence as with the gladness of harvest,
  As men rejoice when they divide the spoil. 

  For You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
  The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian...
  For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us,

  And the government will rest on His shoulders;
  And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of   Peace."    Isaiah 9:2-4, 6
