165. Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright

1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright,
Filled with celestial splendour and light,
These that, where night never followeth day,
Raise the "Thrice Holy" song ever and aye.

2 These are Thy ministers, these dost Thou own,
God of Sabbaoth, the nearest Thy throne;
These are Thy messengers, these dost Thou send,
Help of the helpless ones! man to defend.

3 These keep the guard amid Salem's dear bowers,
Thrones, Principalities, Virtues, and Powers,
Where, with the living Ones, mystical Four,
Cherubim, Seraphim bow and adore.

4 Still let them succour us; still let them fight,
Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right;
Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
We with the angels may bow and adore.
