Bright Star of Morning

1. Bright Star of morning, Light of our dawning,
Send Thy sweet presence here, we pray.
Child of the Father, born of the water,
Blessed among men be Thy name this day.

Chorus:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Worthy the Lamb Who was slain to give life!
Alleluia! Praise ye His name!

2. Men from all nations join now to praise Him,
Blessed of man and of God above!
To all the earth He brought a new birth,
To all that live He brought the Father’s love.

3. Giver of breath, conqu’ror of death,
Sweet be the news o’er the mountains You bore.
Tidings of goodwill ring o’er the hills,
Never to be silenced by sorrow more.

4. O my soul take flight; fly to the Light
Who bore you His child and still bears you along.
Heav’n and earth mingle; let the notes tingle
In all the ears that hear our glad song!

Rev. 22:16; Mosiah 15:18-20; D&C 88:49-50
