the author of the song uses pathos with his exceptional use of exclamation points throughout the song to stir the emotions of those listening to the song to want jesus to come now. phrases like "oh wondrous birth!" and"make here thy home!'' causes the listener to be moved and cause them to be anxious for jesus's coming. "high song of triumph swell!" is an amazing use of pathos to create an atmosphere of majesty and success surrounding jesus's coming. the last verse, praising all parts of the trinity, once again appeal to emotions to causes an exultation in the singers and in the listeners again causing a longing for christ and his glorious return.
