The bright and morn­ing star
Is shed­ding forth its light,
As God’s ma­jes­tic glo­ry,
To guide His child­ren right.
O, may we all re­ceive it,
In faith—in joy—in love—
Until it guides us safe­ly
Into the realms above.

Refrain

It will guide us safe­ly,
Tho’ the way be drea­ry;
It will guide us safe­ly
To eter­nal life.
It will guide us safe­ly
Into bliss and glo­ry;
It will guide us safe­ly
If we trust its light.

The bright and morn­ing star
Is shin­ing forth for all
Who love to see its beau­ty,
And heed its gra­cious call.
Come un­to Me, says Je­sus,
And I will give you rest,
For I am meek and low­ly;
O be for­ev­er blest.

Refrain

The bright and morn­ing star
Illuminates the way
That leads from earth to Hea­ven;
It ne­ver leads as­tray.
For if we on­ly tra­vel
Where’er its light doth show,
The morn­ing star will guide us
Away from ev­ery foe.

Refrain

Of all the stars that shine
There’s none so great as this,
Because it shines for­ev­er,
And gives eter­nal bliss.
To all who trust its Spi­rit,
It ne­ver will grow dim,
It is the bless­èd Je­sus,
Who cleans­es from all sin.
