485. Stars Of The Morning, So Gloriously Bright

1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright,
Filled with celestial resplendent and light,
Dwelling where night never followeth day,
Raise the Thrice Holy Lord! ever and aye.

2 These are Thy ministers; these Thou dost own,
Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest Thy throne.
These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send,
Help of the helpless ones, man to defend.

3 Still let them stand be our side in the fight,
Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right,
Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
We with the angels may bow and adore.

Amen.
