How Lovely Shines the Morning Star!

Author: Philipp Nicolai Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Christ advent of Lyrics: 1 How lovely shines the Morning Star! The nations see and hail afar the light in Judah shining. Thou David's Son of Jacob's race, my bridegroom and my King of grace, for thee my heart is pining. Lowly, holy, great and glorious, thou victorious Prince of graces, filling all the heav'nly places. 2 Though circled by the hosts on high, he deigned to cast a pitying eye upon his helpless creature; the whole creation's head and Lord, by highest seraphim adored, assumed our very nature. Jesus, grant us, through thy merit to inherit thy salvation; hear, O hear our supplication. 3 Now richly to my waiting heart, O thou, my God, deign to impart the grace of love undying. In thy blest body let me be, e'en as the branch is in the tree, thy life my life supplying. Sighing, crying, for the savor of thy favor; resting never till I rest in thee forever. 4 Thou, mighty Father, in thy Son didst love me ere thou hadst begun this ancient world's foundation. Thy Son hath made a friend of me, and when in spirit him I see, I joy in tribulation. What bliss is this! He that liveth to me giveth life forever; nothing me from him can sever. 5 Rejoice, ye heav'ns; thou earth reply; with praise, ye sinners, fill the sky, for this his incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth thy pow'r, ride on, ride on, great conqueror till all know thy salvation. Amen, Amen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise be given evermore by earth and heaven.

The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him.
