Bright and joyful is the morn, for “to us 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, He—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 his manger to his throne, homage due to God alone.
