A Little Child So Fair and Bright

A lit­tle child so fair and bright

Is sent to us from Heav­en;

Before or since that Christ­mas night

Such gift was nev­er given;

But when the time of God was come

His Son did leave His heav’n­ly home

And found on earth a mo­ther;

This Morn­ing Star

this Child of fame

In low­li­ness among us came

To be our Lord and bro­ther.

Exalted in eter­ni­ty

Is Je­sus Christ

our Sav­ior!

All hon­or to our Fa­ther be

For His un­eq­ualed fa­vor!

Each Christ­mas day anew we raise

Our voic­es un­to Him in praise

In joy­ful ad­or­ation;

Though poor our hal­le­lu­jahs ring.

In Heav­en count­less voi­ces sing

With ours in ju­bi­la­tion.
