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 awesome, names most high.
Wonderful in counsel He; The incarnate Deity, Lord of Ages ne’er to cease; King of kings, and Prince of Peace.
Come and worship at His feet, Yield to Christ the homage meet; From His manger to His throne, Homage due to God alone.
James Montgomery, 1771-1854
