Lyrics

[Verse 1]

For to us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

Unto us a son is given

For unto us a child is born

For unto us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

Unto us a son is given

[Verse 2]

For to us a child is born

For to us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

Unto us a son is given

Unto us a son is given

And the government shall be upon His shoulder

And the government shall be upon His shoulder

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

[Verse 3]

For to us a child is born

For to us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

For to us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

And the government shall be upon His shoulder

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

[Verse 4]

For to us a child is born

For to us a child is born

For to us a child is born

For to us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

Unto us a son is given

And the government shall be upon His shoulder

And the government shall be upon His shoulder

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

[Verse 5]

For to us a child is born

For to us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

Unto us a son is given

Unto us a son is given

And the government, the government shall be upon His shoulder

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

The everlasting Father, the Prince of peace
