HYMN XVII. The Names and Offices of Christ.

James Montgomery

The Names and Offices of Christ.

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 shoulder 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 Christ the homage meet;

From His manger to His throne,

Homage due to God alone.
