How brightly gleams the morning star!

Author: Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608); Johann Adolf Schlegel (1721-1793); Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #100 (2013) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.8.4.8 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 How brightly gleams the morning star! What sudden radiance from afar delights us with its shining? God's glory breaks upon the night, and fills our darkened souls with light, who long for truth were pining! Your word, Jesus, truly feeds us, rightly leads us, life bestowing. Praise such mercy overflowing! 2 By you alone can we be blessed — then deep be on our hearts impressed the love that you have borne us. So make us ready to fulfil with fervent zeal your holy will, though many vex or scorn us. Saviour, let us gladly hear you, duly fear you, long to know you! All we are and have, we owe you. 3 All praise to him who comes to save, who conquered death, and spurned the grave! Our adoration rises to him, the Lamb who once was slain, the friend whom none shall trust in vain, whose mercy yet surprises. Sing, you heavens, tell the story of his glory, till his praises flood with light earth's darkest places!

How brightly beams the Morning Star!

Author: J. A. Schlegel Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #36 (1863) Hymnal Title: Chorale Book for England, The Lyrics: How brightly beams the Morning Star! What sudden radiance from afar Doth glad us with its shining, Brightness of God that breaks our night And fills the darken'd souls with light Who long for truth were pining! Thy Word, Jesu, Inly feeds us, Rightly leads us, Life bestowing; Praise, oh praise such love o'erflowing. Thou here my Comfort, there my Crown, Thou King of Heaven, who camest down To dwell as man beside me; My heart doth praise Thee o'er and o'er, If Thou art mine I ask no more, Be wealth or fame denied me; Thee I seek now; None who proves Thee, None who loves Thee Finds Thee fail him; Lord of life, Thy powers avail him! Through Thee alone can I be blest, Then deep be on my heart imprest The love that Thou hast borne me; So make it ready to fulfil With burning zeal Thy holy will, Though men may vex or scorn me; Saviour, let me Never lose Thee, For I choose Thee, Thirst to know Thee; All I am and have I owe Thee! O God, our Father far above, Thee too I Praise, for all the love Thou in Thy Son dost give me! In Him am I made one with Thee, My Brother and my Friend is He; Shall aught affright or grieve me? He is Greatest, Best, and Highest, Ever nighest To the weakest; Fear no foes, if Him thou seekest! O praise to Him who come to save, Who conquer'd death and burst the grave; Each day new praise resoundeth To Him the Lamb who once was slain, The Friend whom none shall trust in vain, Whose grace for aye aboundeth; Sing, ye Heavens, Tell the story Of His glory, Till His praises Flood with light Earth's darkest places.
