184. The Bright And Morning Star

1 Behold the bright and Morning Star,
Now shining from the heav'ns afar;
Its radiant beams from worlds so far,
Will guide us safely over there.

Refrain:
O Morning Star, O Beacon Light,
That leadeth me by day and night;
The Son of God The Light, the Way,
That leadeth to eternal day.

2 Our Saviour is that Morning Star,
The hope it gives, may nothing mar;
And may we not be led astray,
But keep within its shining way. [Refrain]

3 Then steadfast may we ever prove,
And ever up and onward move;
Oh, may its light illume our way,
Till we shall reach the gates of day. [Refrain]
