LyicsBRIGHT and joyful was the morn
When to us a child was born;
From the highest realms of heav'n
Unto us a Son was giv'n.
On his shoulder he shall bear
Pow'r and majesty--and wear
On his vesture and his thigh
Names most awful--names most high.
Wonderful in counsel he,
Christ th' incarnate Deity,
Sire of ages ne'er to cease,
King of kings, and Prince of peace.
Come and worship at his feet,
Yield to him the homage meet;
From his manger to his throne,
Homage due to God alone.
