The Morning Star ‎#1

1. The bright Morning Star

1 Oh, sing of the "Bright Morning Star,"
That arose on the world's deepest gloom;
By faith we can see it afar,
Beyond the dark shades of the tomb.

Chorus:
Oh, sing of that beautiful gem,
Lovely star of Bethlehem;
Shine on my soul from worlds afar,
Beautiful, "Bright and Morning Star."

2 Its rays are resplendently grand,
And it shineth in every clime;
A light from Immanuel's land,
Undimmed by the cycles of time. [Chorus]

3 That star now is shining for thee,
O sinner, be led by its light;
Where Jesus forever shall be,
In glory where cometh no night. [Chorus]

4 The morning of joy draweth near,
The night will soon vanish away;
When the Bright Morning Star will appear,
To bring in that glorious day. [Chorus]

5 Oh, sing of that heavenly home,
"Where life everlasting shall be;"
O Lord, our deliverer, come,
And bid us a welcome to Thee. [Chorus]
