O Morning Star, how fair and bright,

| 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; |
| | Toward Thee longing |
| | Doth possess me; turn and bless me; |
| | Here in sadness |
| | Eye and heart long for Thy gladness. |
