Ere Thou cam’st how dark earth’s night!
Morning Star, O cheering sight!
Ere Thou cam’st how dark earth’s night!
Jesus mine,
In me shine;
In me shine,
Jesus mine;
Fill my heart with light divine.
2 Morning Star, Thy glory bright
Far excels the sun’s clear light;
Morning Star, Thy glory bright
Far excels the sun’s clear light.
Jesus be,
Constantly,
Constantly,
Jesus be
More than thousand suns to me.
3 Thy glad beams, Thou Morning Star
Cheer the nations near and far.
Thy glad beams, Thou Morning Star
Cheer the nations near and far;
Thee we own,
Lord alone,
Lord alone,
Thee we own
Man’s great Savior, God’s dear Son.
4 Morning Star, my soul’s true Light,
Tarry not, dispel my night;
Morning Star, my soul’s true Light,
Tarry not, dispel my night;
Jesus mine,
In me shine;
In me shine,
Jesus mine;
Fill my heart with light divine. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: HAGEN
