    A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

    "Morning Star"

    1. When midnight darkness long prevails,
    To force the trav'ller's stay,
    The Morning Star, with joy he hails,
    To light him on his way.

    2. Just so, when nightly seasons mar
    The comfort of the saints,
    Jesus, the bright and Morning Star,
    Dispels their sad complaints.

    3. When first His sparkling form appears,
    Sweet harbinger of day,
    The drooping pilgrim's heart He cheers,
    And drives his fears away.

    4. Cold as his nightly feelings are,
    While light and darkness strive,
    Soon as he sees the Morning Star,
    His trembling hopes revive.

    5. He girds his loins, and trims his lamp,
    And upward speeds his way;
    Through legal fears, and sensual damp,
    He reaches perfect day.
