"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."—Rev. xxii. 16.
Star of the morning, beam on our way,
Break through the darkness, bring the glad day,
Haste through the shades of the lingering night,
Now let thy glory flash on our sight.
Star of the morning, gleam on our tears,
Dissipate darkness, terminate fears,
Give to our language the joy thou dost bring,
Give to our rapture our glorified King.
