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.
