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 dark-ened souls with light,
Who long for truth were pining!
Thy word, Jesus, in-ly feeds us,
Rightly leads us, life be-stowing.
Praise, oh praise such love o'er-flowing!
