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...
Bright and Joyful Is the Morn
