The bright and morning star.
Rev. 22:16.
Star of morn and even,
Sun of Heaven’s heaven,
Saviour high and dear,
Toward us turn thine ear;
Through whate’er may come,
Thou canst lead us home.
2 Though the gloom be grievous,
Those we leant on leave us,
Though the coward heart
Quit its proper part,
Though the tempter come,
Thou wilt lead us home.
3 Saviour pure and holy,
Lover of the lowly,
Sign us with thy sign,
Take our hands in thine;
Take our hands and come,
Lead thy children home!
4 Star of morn and even,
Shine on us from heaven;
From thy glory-throne
Hear thy very own!
Lord and Saviour, come,
Lead us to our home!
F. T. Palgrave.
