Holy art Thou, fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou heavenly Brightness! Light divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar; Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter. Toward Thee longing doth possess me: Come and bless me; For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, warm and cheer me, O draw near me! Thou hast taught us Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us, 4 Here will I rest, and this hold fast: The Lord I love is first and last, The end and the beginning. Through Him to His own Paradise, Above all tears, all sinning; Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us! With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning. Used With Tune: O MORNING STAR!
