1.O Morning Star, how fair and bright
Thou beamest forth in truth and light,
O Sov'reign meek and lowly!
Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son,
my Lord and Master, Thou hast won
my heart to serve Thee solely!
Thou art holy, fair and glorious, all-victorious,
rich in blessing, rule and might o'er all possessing.

2.Thou heav'nly Brightness! Light divine!
O deep within my heart now shine,
and make Thee there an altar!
Fill me with joy and strength to be
Thy member, ever joined to Thee
in love that cannot falter;
t'ward Thee longing doth possess me; turn and bless me;
here in sadness eye and heart long for Thy gladness!

3.What joy to know, when life is past,
the Lord we love is first and last,
the end and the beginning!
He will one day, O glorious grace,
transport us to that happy place
beyond all tears and sinning!
Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! Crown of gladness,
we are yearning for the day of Your returning.
