How splendid shines the morning star, God's gracious light from darkness far The root of Jesse blessed.

Sweetly, friendly, O thou handsome, precious ransom Full of graces, set and kept in heavenly places. Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR (Lowry)

Morning Star

Author: Phillipp Nicolai (1550-1608); Anon.; William Mercer (1811-1873) Hymnal: An American Christmas Harp #86 (2009) Meter: 8.8.7 D First Line: How splendid shines the morning star Lyrics: 1. How splendid shines the morning star, God's gracious light from darkness far, The root of Jesse blessed. Thou David's son, of Jesse's stem, My bridegroom, King, and wondrous Lamb, Thou hast my heart possessed. Sweetly friendly O thou handsome, Precious ransom full of graces, Set and kept in heav'nly places. 2. Though circled by the hosts on high, He deigned to cast a pity'ng eye, Upon his helpless creature; The whole creation's head and Lord, By highest seraphim ador'd, Assum'd our very nature; Jesus grant us, through thy merit, To inherit thy salvation, Hear, O hear, our supplication. 3. Rejoice ye heav'ns, thou earth reply, With praise, ye sinners fill the sky, For this his Incarnation. Incarnate God, put forth thy pow'r, Ride on, ride on great conqueror, Till all know thy salvation; Amen, amen! Alleluia, alleluia! praise be given Evermore by earth and heaven.
