How Brightly Beams the Morning Star
Philipp Nicolai
Song : D
D A D Bm F#m D6 E A
How brightly beams the Morning Star!
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
What sudden rad -i- ance from afar
D G D Em D A7 D
Doth glad us with its shining,
A D Bm F#m D6 E A
Brightness of God that breaks our night
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
And fills the darken'd souls with light
D G D Em D A7 D
Who long for truth were pining!
A D A Bm Em D A7 D
Thy Word, Jesus, only feeds us,
A7 D A B7
Rightly leads us,
Em Bm G6 A7 D
Life be-stow—ing;
Bm F#7 G D G D G6 A7 D
Praise, oh praise such love o'erflowing.
D A D Bm F#m D6 E A
Thou here my Comfort, there my Crown,
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
Thou King of Heaven, who camest down
D G D Em D A7 D
To dwell as man beside me;
A D Bm F#m D6 E A
My heart doth praise Thee o'er and o'er,
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
If Thou art mine I ask no more,
D G D Em D A7 D
Be wealth or fame denied me;
A D A Bm Em D A7 D
Thee I seek now; None who proves Thee,
A7 D A B7
None who loves Thee
Em Bm G6 A7 D
Finds Thee fail him;
Bm F#7 G D G D G6 A7 D
Lord of life, Thy powers avail him!
D A D Bm F#m D6 E A
Through Thee alone can I be blest,
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
Then deep be on my heart imprest
D G D Em D A7 D
The love that Thou hast borne me;
A D Bm F#m D6 E A
So make it ready to fulfil
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
With burning zeal Thy holy will,
D G D Em D A7 D
Though men may vex or scorn me;
A D A Bm Em D A7 D
Saviour, let me Never lose Thee,
A7 D A B7
For I choose Thee,
Em Bm G6 A7 D
Thirst to know Thee;
Bm F#7 G D G D G6 A7 D
All I am and have I owe Thee!
D A D Bm F#m D6 E A
O God, our Father far above,
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
Thee too I Praise, for all the love
D G D Em D A7 D
Thou in Thy Son dost give me!
A D Bm F#m D6 E A
In Him am I made one with Thee,
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
My Brother and my Friend is He;
D G D Em D A7 D
Shall aught affright or grieve me?
A D A Bm Em D A7 D
He is Greatest, Best, and Highest,
A7 D A B7
Ever nighest
Em Bm G6 A7 D
To the weakest;
Bm F#7 G D G D G6 A7 D
Fear no foes, if Him thou seekest!
D A D Bm F#m D6 E A
O praise to Him who come to save,
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
Who conquer'd death and burst the grave;
D G D Em D A7 D
Each day new praise resoundeth
A D Bm F#m D6 E A
To Him the Lamb who once was slain,
D G A7 D E7 A D6 E7 A
The Friend whom none shall trust in vain,
D G D Em D A7 D
Whose grace for aye aboundeth;
A D A Bm Em D A7 D
Sing, ye Heavens, Tell the story
A7 D A B7
Of His glory,
Em Bm G6 A7 D
Till His praises
Bm F#7 G D G D G6 A7 D
Flood with light Earth's darkest places.
