HYMN 54. Christ the Morning-Star.
Rev. 22.16.
I am the bright & morning-star.
1
THe Morning Star it does appear,The day approaches now;See how Christ shines! how lovely, fair!O cast your eyes, see how
2
His light does sparkle brighter still,The day will quickly break,And until then he guide us willI' th' way that we should take.
3
None is so glorious in our sightAs the sweet Morning-Star;Ah! thou out-shines it, art more brightThan all the Angels far.
4
The Morning-Star, that name is sweet,So is that name of thine;O with thy glorious beams let's meet,For they are all divine.

In Winter 'tis the Morning-StarIs so delighted in;How good's thy Light, whilst we do findThe Clouds and Night of Sin!
6
The Morning Stars did all rejoyceWhen this Star did arise;O let us with the Churches singHis lasting praise likewise.
