Jesus, Thou art that morn­ing star!
Thy bright­ness in my heart de­clare;
To me Thine on­ly glo­ry show,
Thine on­ly self on me be­stow;
I want no other light to see,
No oth­er stars or sun but Thee.

Who walk en­lighten­ed by Thy light
Their morn hath no suc­ceed­ing night;
They by re­flect­ed lus­ter shine,
And bright in ma­jes­ty di­vine,
Admire with all those stars above,
The Light of life, the God of love.
