The Treasury of Sacred Song by Francis Turner Palgrave (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1890) gives two verses preceding the ones shown above:

PSALM FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
T. Pestel

FAIREST of morning lights appear,
Thou blest and gaudy day,
On which was born our Saviour dear;
Arise and come away!

This day prevents His day of doom;
His mercy now is nigh;
The mighty God of Love is come,
The Dayspring from on high!
