LyicsBright and joyful was the morn
When to us a child was born;
From the highest realms of heaven
Unto us a Son was given.
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.
