Bright and joyful is the morn

For us to a Child is born

From the highest realms of Heaven

Unto us a Son is given.



On His shoulders He shall bear

Power and majesty, and wear

On His vesture and His thigh

Names most awful, names most high.



Wonderful in counsel be

Christ, the 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 the manger to the throne

Homage due to God alone...
