The Bright and Morning Star (Dunlavy)

The bright and morn­ing star

Is shed­ding forth its light

As God’s ma­jes­tic glo­ry

To guide His child­ren right.

O

may we all re­ceive it

In faith—in joy—in love—

Until it guides us safe­ly

Into the realms ab­ove.

It will guide us safe­ly

Tho’ the way be drea­ry;

It will guide us safe­ly

To eter­nal life.

It will guide us safe­ly

Into bliss and glo­ry;

It will guide us safe­ly

If we trust its light.

The bright and morn­ing star

Is shin­ing forth for all

Who love to see its beau­ty

And heed its gra­cious call.

Come un­to Me

says Je­sus

And I will give you rest

For I am meek and low­ly;

O be for­ev­er blest.

The bright and morn­ing star

Illuminates the way

That leads from earth to Heav­en;

It nev­er leads as­tray.

For if we on­ly tra­vel

Where’er its light doth show

The morn­ing star will guide us

Away from ev­ery foe.

Of all the stars that shine

There’s none so great as this

Because it shines for­ev­er

And gives eter­nal bliss.

To all who trust its Spir­it

It nev­er will grow dim

It is the bless­èd Je­sus

Who cleans­es from all sin.
