Morning Star ablaze at night,

Morning Star ablaze at night, Do come in, enlighten me; Save me from my still-dark state, Let Thy light shine brilliantly! Be my hope, my wait, my want, Looking toward Thee, ne’er afar, Trusting in Thee—Light of life, All-transcending, heav’nly Star!

Morning Star still burning bright, Set aflame my inward being; Fill my heart with radiant light, Rays of love as Spirit bring! My sure faith when none is there, Shepherd, Thou dost truly care; Living in me, Thou would’st move, In my heart spread everywhere.

Morning Star—arise and shine, Lead my path, direct my way; As the guiding cloud of yore, Fire by night and cloud by day; Let Thy word e’er open be; Through each line, shine into me; Till the day dawns—Thee to see, Face to face—no veil between.

Morning Star, Thou dost appear, Ever brighter, ever near; Rising, beaming, in my heart, What a joy, this sight so clear! In Thy presence darkness flees; In Thy light, how glad are we, Waiting, watching, seeking Thee, Thy dear coming hastening.
