The Morning Star Will Rise

Out in the darkness of the night,
Comes into view a distant light,
For the day is drawing near
When God's radiance will appear.

Ent'ring the world by humble birth,
Jesus, the Light of all the earth,
Is the Bright and Morning Star,
Spreading brilliance near and far.

My people, lift your eyes.
God's glory fills the skies.
Salvation is near.
The way is made clear,
For the Morning Star will rise.

Blessed Emmanuel, Who came
Into our world in God's own name,
Will reveal God's grand design
To deliver humankind.

My people, lift your eyes.
God's glory fills the skies.
The dawn is at hand
With God's redeeming plan,
When the Morning Star will rise.
