1. Morning Star, O cheering sight!
Ere Thou cam’st how dark earth’s night!
Jesus mine,
In me shine;
In me shine,
Jesus mine;
Fill my heart with light divine.
2. Morning Star, Thy glory bright!
Far excels the sun’s clear light:
Jesus be,
Constantly,
Constantly,
Jesus be
More than thousand suns to me.
3. Thy glad beams, Thou Morning Star,
Cheer the nations near and far;
Thee we own,
Lord alone,
Lord alone,
Thee we own,
Man’s great Saviour, God’s dear Son.
4. Morning Star, my soul’s true Light,
Tarry not, dispel my night;
Jesus mine,
In me shine;
In me shine,
Jesus mine;
Fill my heart with light divine.
