O Morning Star, How Fair and Bright tells of many wonderful attributes of the Son of God and how apprehension of them leads us to give ourselves to Him in humility and worshipfulness. This sixteenth-century Epiphany hymn was harmonized by J.S. Bach in 1731.

O Morning Star, how fair and bright Thou beamest forth in truth and light, O Sovereign meek and lowly! Thou Root of Jesse, David’s Son, My Lord and Master, thou has won My heart to serve thee solely! Thou art holy, Fair and glorious, all-victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o’er all possessing. |
Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern Voll Gnad’ und Wahrheit von dem Herrn, Die süße Wurzel Jesse! Du Sohn David zus Jakobs Stamm, Mein König und mein Bräutigam, Hast mir mein Herz besessen, Lieblich, freundlich, Schön und herrlich, groß und ehrlich, Reich von Gaben, Hoch und sehr prächtig erhaben! |
