This day’s a desert full of frights
Morning Star, oh, Morning Star
And I must cross it before the night
Oh, bright and Morning Star

The day can be too much for me
Morning Star, oh, Morning Star
Be Thou my vision so I can see
Oh, bright and Morning Star

Come rise and shine in Your holiness
Oh, radiant Son of Righteousness
And warm Your people both near and far
And shine through me, oh, Morning Star
Shine through me, oh, Morning Star

Now like a beacon, come and blaze
Morning Star, oh, Morning Star
Lead on, Good Shepherd through the maze
Oh bright and Morning Star
Oh, bright and Morning Star

Come rise and shine in Your holiness
Oh, radiant Son of Righteousness
And warm Your people both near and far
And shine through me, oh, Morning Star
Shine through me, oh, Morning Star
Your compassion’s new every morning
It fills us up so we can sing
So we can sing

Come rise and shine in Your holiness
Oh, radiant Son of Righteousness
And warm Your people both near and far
And shine through me, oh, Morning Star
Shine through me, oh, Morning Star
