How Brightly Shines The Morning Star 2 Lyrics

1. How brightly shines the Morning Star!
What ray divine streams from afar!
God's glory there is shining.
Bright beam of God, which scatters night,
And guides the wandering soul aright,
Which after truth is pining!
Jesus, God's Word, truth revealing,
Sorrow healing.
Sooth our sighing,
Dry our tears, and end our dying.

2. My comfort here, my joy above,
Man's Son, Son of the Father's love,
Enthroned in highest heaven.
With my whole heart Thy praise I sing;
To Thee, our Prophet, Priest and King,
Be endless honors given.
Saviour, To Thee, trusting, clinging,
Come I bringing
Soul and spirit,
Thee, my portion, to inherit.

3. Aid me, my God, to sing Thy praise,
Thine ageless love, Thy matchless grace,
In Christ, our Lord, appearing.
When such a gift God gave for thee,
When such a brother true is He,
Why still my soul be fearing?
Choose Him, know Him, greatest, dearest,
Best and nearest,
To befriend thee
'Gainst all foes who may offend thee.
