O Morning Star, How Fair and Bright! Lyrics

O Morning Star, how fair and bright

You shine with God's own truth and light

Aglow with grace and mercy

Of Jacob's line, King David's son

Our Lord and Savior, you have won

Our hearts to serve you only

Lowly, holy

Great and glorious, all victorious

Rich in blessing

Rule and might o'er all possessing

Come, precious diamond, light divine

And deep within our hearts now shine

There light a flame undying

In your one body let us be

As living branches of a tree

Your life our lives suppling

Now, though daily

Earth's deep sadness may perplex us

And distress us

Yet with heav'nly joy you bless us

Lord, when you look on us in love

At once there falls from God above

A ray of purest pleasure

Your word and Spirit, flesh and blood

Refresh our souls with heav'nly food

You are our dearest treasure

Let your mercy

Warm and cheer us! Oh, draw near us

For you teach us

God's own love through you has reached us

Almighty Father, in your Son

You loved us, when not yet begun

Was this old earth's foundation

Your Son has ransomed us in love

To live in him here and above

This is your great salvation

Alleluia

Christ the living, to us giving

Life forever

Keeps us yours and fails us never

Oh, let the harps break forth in sound

Our joy be all with music crowned

Our voices gaily blending

For Christ goes with us all the way

Today, tomorrow, ev'ry day

His love is never ending

Sing out! Ring out

Jubilation! Exultation

Tell the story

Praise to Christ, who reigns in glory

What joy to know, when life is past

The Lord we love is first and last

The end and the beginning

He will one day, oh, glorious grace

Transport us to that happy place

Beyond all tears and sinning

Amen! Amen

Come, Lord Jesus! Crown of gladness

We are yearning

For the day of your returning
