Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Lyrics
For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
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.
For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
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.
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.
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.
the Everlasting Father,
the Prince of Peace.
