New Hymn: O Morning Star! [music]

[To be sung to turn of Hymns #555]

1. O Morning Star! Arise ere day is broken,
   Shine, Thou, dear Lord—our hope, our light, our way;
   Thou art that noble root and fruit of David,
   Lucent above, guides to a perfect day.
2. O Morning Star! Ascend before the dawning,
   In twilight radiate—how clear and bright!
   While here we love and wait for They dear coming,
   Silently, Thou illuminate our night.
3. O Morning Star! Appear to us Thy seekers!
   Midst this black hour, we watch for Thy return.
   Earnestly longing for Thy hidden presence;
   Our fond reward, for Thee we dearly yearn!
4. O Morning Star! Spring forth from my heart’s center,
   As we attend to Thy prophetic word; <– 2 Peter 1:19
   Glow as a lamp amidst apostate darkness,
   Until the morn arrives in all the earth.
5. O Morning Star! Arise in secret stillness,
   Break through the gloom, the darkness of the age;
   Burst forth, Thou Sun of Righteousness, in splendor,
   Come now, our King, turn Thou a glorious page!
