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.
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.
O Morning Star! Arise in secret stillness,
Break through the gloom, the darkness of this age;
Burst forth, Thou Sun of Righteousness, in splendor!
Come now, our King, turn Thou a glorious page.
Break through the gloom, the darkness of this age;
Burst forth, Thou Sun of Righteousness, in splendor!

O Morning Star! Ascend before the dawning,
In twilight radiate—how clear and bright!
While here we love and wait for Thy dear coming,
Silently, Thou illuminate our night.
In twilight radiate—how clear and bright!
While here we love and wait for Thy dear coming,
Silently, Thou illuminate our night.

O Morning Star! Spring forth from my heart’s fountain,
As we attend to Thy prophetic word;
Glow as a lamp amidst apostate darkness,
Until the morn arrives in all the earth.
As we attend to Thy prophetic word;
Glow as a lamp amidst apostate darkness,
Until the morn arrives in all the earth.

O Morning Star! Appear to us Thy seekers!
Midst this black hour, we wait for Thy return.
Earnestly longing for Thy hidden presence;
Our fond Reward, for Thee we dearly yearn!
Midst this black hour, we wait for Thy return.
Earnestly longing for Thy hidden presence;
Our fond Reward, for Thee we dearly yearn!
