It is set as one short through-sung piece, but can be repeated as desired.

Lyrics
For unto us a child is born,Unto us a son is given.
And the government will be upon on His shoulders;
And his name will be called
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
The everlasting Father,
And the Prince of Peace is he.
