Lutheran Hymnal: 147 - O Morning Star so Bright and Fair

1 O Morning Star so bright and fair, With grace and truth beyond compare Thou art the King of heaven. O David’s Son, of Jacob’s line, Thou root of Jesse, bridegroom mine, To Thee my heart is given: Precious, Gracious, All-victorious, Fair and glorious, Rich in blessing, Might and majesty possessing. 2 Thou, mighty Father, in Thy Son Didst love me, ere Thou hadst begun To lay this world’s foundation. Thy Son hath called me to His side, He is my treasure, I His bride; I fear no tribulation. Praise Him! Praise Him! Where He liveth There He giveth Life eternal; Sing, my heart, with joy supernal. 3 What joy is mine, for grief is past; The Lord I love is first and last, The ending and beginning; I know that I shall surely rise To be with Him in Paradise, Eternal glory winning. Amen, Amen, Come, my treasure, Crown and pleasure! With deep yearning, Lord, I look for Thy returning.
