How beautifully the Morning-star blazes (to us),full of grace and truth from the Lord,you sweet root of Jesse;You—Son of David, from Jacob’s branch,my King and my Bridegroom—(You) have occupied my heart,lovely, friendly, fair and splendid,great and honorable, rich in gifts,high and very nobly exalted.
2. Ah, my Pearl, You precious Crown,true Son of God and of Mary, a high-born King,my heart calls You a Lily,Your sweet Gospel is sheer milk and honey.Ah, my Flower, Hosanna,heavenly Manna which we eat,I cannot forget You.
3. You bright Jasper and Ruby,Pour very deeply into my heart the flame of Your love,and gladden me so that I may remain a living rib in Your elected body.My heart is sick and smoldering for YouGratiosa Coeli Rosa (Gracious Rose of Heaven)(my heart is) wounded by Your love.
4. From God a glow of joy comes to me,Whenever You give me a friendly look with Your eyes.O Lord Jesus, my trusty good,Your Word, Your Spirit, Your body and blood revive me inwardly.Kindly accept me in Your arms, so that I may be warmed by grace.At Your word, I come burdened.
5. Lord God Father, my strong champion,You loved me in Your Son eternally before the world.Your Son pledged Himself to me,He is my treasure, I am His bride, greatly overjoyed in Him.Eya, eya!He will give me heavenly life yonder above;Forever shall my heart praise Him.
6. Strike the cithara-stringsand let sweet music resound all full joyfully,so that I may well up with constant love for Jesusmy wondrously beautiful Bridegroom.Sing (you all)!, Jump (you all)!Jubilate, be triumphant,thank the Lord;great is the King of Glory.
7. How heartily happy I am indeedbecause my treasure is the Alpha and Omega,the Beginning and the End;He shall surely take me up to His prize into Paradisefor this reason I clap my hands.Amen, Amen!Come, you beautiful Crown of Joy,Do not tarry long,I wait for you with yearning.

1. Wie schön leuchtet der MorgensternVoll Gnad und Wahrheit von dem Herrn,Die süße Wurzel Jesse!Du Sohn Davids aus 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!
2. Ei meine Perl’, du werte Kron,Wahr’ Gottes und Mariens Sohn,Ein hochgeborner König!Mein Herz heißt dich ein Himmelsblum;Dein süßes EvangeliumIst lauter Milch und Honig.Ei mein Blümlein,Hosianna! Himmlisch Manna,Das wir essen,Deiner kann ich nicht vergessen!
3. Geuß sehr tief in das Herz hinein,Du leuchtend Kleinod, edler Stein,Mit deiner Liebe Flamme,Daß ich, o Herr, ein Gliedmaß bleibAn deinem auserwählten Leib,Ein Zweig an deinem Stamme.Nach dir wallt mir,Mei Gemüte,Ewig Güte, bis es findetDich, des Liebe mich entzündet.
4. Von Gott kommt mir ein Freudenschein,Wenn du mich mit den Augen deinGar freundlich tust anblicken.O Herr Jesu, mein trautes Gut,Dein Wort, dein Geist, dein Leib und BlutMich innerlich erquicken.Nimm mich freundlichIn dein Arme, Herr erbarmeDich in Gnaden;Auf dein Wort komm ich geladen.
5. Herr Gott Vater, mein starker Held,Du hast mich ewig vor der WeltIn deinem Sohn geliebet.Dein Sohn hat mich ihm selbst vertraut,Er ist mein Schatz, ich seine Braut,Drum mich auch nichts betrübet.Eia, eia,Himmlisch Leben wird er gebenMir dort oben!Ewig soll mein Herz ihn loben.
6. Zwingt die Saiten in CytharaUnd laßt die süße MusikaGanz freudenreich erschallen,Daß ich möge mit Jesulein,Dem wunderschönen Bräutgam mein,In steter Liebe wallen!Singet, springet,Jubilieret, triumphieret,Dankt dem Herren;Groß ist der König der Ehren!
7. Wie bin ich doch so herzlich froh,Daß mein Schatz ist das A und O.Der Anfang und das Ende.Er wird mich doch zu seinem PreisAufnehmen in das Paradeis;Des klopf ich in die Hände.Amen, Amen,Komm, du schöne Freudenkrone,Bleib nicht lange,Deiner wart’ ich mit Verlangen.
1. How lovely shines the Morning Star!The nations see and hail afarThe light in Judah shining.Thou David’s Son of Jacob’s race,My Bridegroom and my King of Grace,For Thee my heart is pining.Lowly, Holy,Great and glorious, Thou victoriousPrince of graces,Filling all the heavenly places.
2. O highest joy by mortals won,True Son of God and Mary’s Son,Thou high-born King of ages!Thou art my heart’s most beauteous Flower,And Thy blest Gospel’s saving powerMy raptured soul engages.Thou mine, I Thine;Sing hosanna! Heavenly mannaTasting, eating,Whilst Thy love in songs repeating.
3. Now richly to my waiting heart,O Thou, my God, deign to impartThe grace of love undying.In Thy blest body let me be,E’en as the branch is in the tree,Thy life my life supplying.Sighing, Crying.For the savor of Thy favour;Resting never,Till I rest in Thee forever.
4. A pledge of peace from God I seeWhen Thy pure eyes are turned to meTo show me Thy good pleasure.Jesus, Thy Spirit and Thy Word,Thy body and Thy blood, affordMy soul its dearest treasure.Keep me kindlyIn Thy favour, o my Saviour!Thou wilt cheer me;Thy Word calls me to draw near Thee.
5. Thou, mighty Father, in Thy SonDidst love me ere Thou hadst begunThis ancient world’s foundation.Thy Son hath made a friend of me,And when in spirit Him I see,I joy in tribulation.What bliss is this!He that liveth to me givethLife forever;Nothing me from Him can sever.
6. Lift up the voice and strike the string.Let all glad sounds of music ringIn God’s high praises blended.Christ will be with me all the way,Today, tomorrow, every day,Till traveling days be ended.Sing out, ring outTriumph glorious, o victorious,Chosen nation;Praise the God of your salvation.
7. Oh, joy to know that Thou, my Friend,Art Lord, Beginning without end,The First and Last, Eternal!And Thou at length, o glorious grace!Wilt take me to that holy place,The home of joys supernal.Amen, Amen!Come and meet me! Quickly greet me!With deep yearningLord, I look for Thy returning.
