[The Morning Star.]
I am the Root and Offspring of David, and the bright and Morning Star.
Rev. xxii. 16.
How lovely now the Morning Star,
Sent forth by God from heaven afar,
With truth and mercy shineth!
Hail! Jesse’s Root and Jacob’s Rod,
Hail! David’s Offspring, Son of God,
To Thee my heart inclineth:
Beauteous,
Bounteous,
