Bright and Joyful Is the Morn
Words: James Montgomery (1771–1854)
Music: Alcester | Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810–1876)
1. 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.

2. On His shoulder He shall bear
Power and majesty, and wear
On His vesture and His thigh,
Names most awful, names most high.

3. Wonderful in counsel He,
Christ th’ incarnate Deity;
Sire of ages, ne’er to cease,
King of kings, and Prince of peace.

4. Come and worship at His feet;
Yield to Christ the homage meet;
From His manger to His throne,
Homage due to God alone.
