Echoes of Ancient Words

For unto us a child is born today
Unto us a son is given
The government is on his shoulders
The prince of peace
Wonderful Counselor
Chorus
Echoes of ancient words
A child is born this day
The star will show the way
You are the child
Echoes of ancient words
A child is born this day
The star will show the way
You are the Son of God
2nd Verse
Eastern star that brightly shines
Shows the way to find the child
Wise men seek and find within
God with us, Immanuel
