O Morning Star, how fair and bright

Meter: 8.8.7.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O MORNING STAR, how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light! O Sovereign meek and lowly! Sweet Root of Jesse, David's Son, My King and Bridegroom, Thou hast won My heart to love Thee solely! Lovely art Thou, fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 O King high-born, Pearl dearly won, True Son of God and Mary's Son, Crown of exceeding glory! My heart calls Thee a Lily, Lord, Pure milk and honey is Thy Word, Thy sweetest Gospel-story. Rose of Sharon, hail! hosanna! Heavenly Manna, Feed us ever; Lord; I can forget Thee never! 3 Clear Jasper, Ruby fervent red, Deep, deep into my heart now shed Thy love's pure fire forever; Fill me with joy, grant me to be Thy member closely joined to Thee, Whom naught from Thee may sever; Toward Thee longing doth possess me: Come and bless me, For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 4 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh myself with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden Treasure. Let Thy grace, Lord, warm and cheer me. O draw near me; Thou hast taught us Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us. 5 Lord God, my Father, mighty Shield, Thou in Thy Son art all revealed As Thou hast loved and known me: Thy Son hath me with Him betrothed, In His own whitest raiment clothed, He for His bride will own me. Hallelujah! Life in heaven Hath He given, With Him dwelling, Still shall I His praise be telling. 6 Then touch the chords of harp and lute, Let no sweet music now be mute, But joyously resounding, Tell of the marriage-feast, the bride, The heavenly Bridegroom at her side, 'Mid love and joy abounding; Shout for triumph, loudly sing ye, Praises bring ye, Fall before Him, King of kings, let all adore Him! 7 Here rests my heart, and holds it fast; The Lord I love is First and Last, The End and the Beginning! I welcome death, for I shall rise Through Him to His own Paradise Above all tears and sinning, Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us! With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning!
