1 O Morning Star! Arise ere day is broken, Shine, Thou, dear Lord—our hope, our light, our way; Thou art that noble root and fruit of David, Lucent above, guides to a perfect day.
O Morning Star! Arise in secret stillness, Break through the gloom, the darkness of this age; Burst forth, Thou Sun of Righteousness, in splendor! Come now, our King, turn Thou a glorious page.
2 O Morning Star! Ascend before the dawning, In twilight radiate—how clear and bright! While here we love and wait for Thy dear coming, Silently, Thou illuminate our night.
3 O Morning Star! Spring forth from my heart’s fountain, As we attend to Thy prophetic word; Glow as a lamp amidst apostate darkness, Until the morn arrives in all the earth.
4 O Morning Star! Appear to us Thy seekers! Midst this black hour, we wait for Thy return. Earnestly longing for Thy hidden presence; Our fond Reward, for Thee we dearly yearn!
