BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH. 7,7,7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7. MENDELSSOHN. Died, 1846.

DRIGHT 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.
