Oh Son, awakeu from sleep!

 In east, whence cometh new life.

 I 



Oh Morning Star, for thee we watch! 

 Dimly comes thy light from distant skies; 

 We see thee, then lost art thon. 

 Morning Star, thou bringest life to us. 



II 



Oh Morning Star, thy form we see! 

 Clad in shining garments dost thou come. 

 Thy plume touched with rosy light. 

 Morning Star, thou now art vanishing. 



Ill 



Oh youthful Dawn, for thee we watch! 

 Dimly comes thy light from distant skies; 

 We see thee, then lost art thou. 

 Youthful Dawn, thou bringest life to us. 



IV 



Oh youthful Dawn, we see thee come! 

 Brighter grows thy glowing light 

 As near, nearer thou dost come. 

 Youthful Dawn, thou now art vanishing.
