O Morning Star, how fair and bright

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.

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.
