Star of the Morning

lyricist: M. A. Fox, 1875
Composer: Robert Lowry

Star of the morn­ing

beam on our way;

Break thro’ the dark­ness

bring on the day;

Haste thro’ the shades of the lin­ger­ing night

Now let thy glo­ry flash out on our sight.

Star of the morn­ing

Star of the morn­ing

Break thro’ the dark­ness

And bring the glad day.

Star of the morn­ing

gleam on our tears;

Scatter the dark­ness

ban­ish our fears;

Give to our long­ings the joys thou dost bring;

Give to our rap­ture our Sav­ior and king.

Star of the morn­ing

shine thro’ the gloom;

Gleam thro’ the sha­dows

shroud­ing the tomb;

Waken the na­tions that slum­ber be­neath;

Speedily van­quish the pow­er of death.

Bride of Im­ma­nu­el

cease from thy tears.

Lo! in the day­break glo­ry ap­pears;

Fast flies the storm cloud

the dark­ness is past;

Morning is com­ing with bless­ings at last.
