Come, Thou Bright and Morning Star

Come, Thou Bright and Morning Star, Light of light, without beginning! Shine upon us from afar That we may be kept from sinning. Drive away by Thy clear light Our dark night. 3. Let Thy grace, like morning dew Falling soft on barren places, Comfort, quicken, and renew Our dry souls and dying graces; Bless Thy flock from Thy rich store Evermore.

4. May Thy fervent love destroy Our cold works, in us awaking Ardent zeal and holy joy At the purple morn's first breaking. Let us truly rise ere yet Life has set. 6. Ah! thou Dayspring from on high, Grant that at Thy next appearing We who in the graves do lie May arise, Thy summons hearing, And rejoice in our new life, Far from strife.

7. Light us to those heavenly spheres, Sun of grace, in glory shrouded; Lead us through this vale of tears To the land where days unclouded, Purest joy, and perfect peace Never cease.
