'I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!

Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising from on high did look upon us,

To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade, To guide our feet to a way of peace.'

And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till day may dawn, and a morning star may arise -- in your hearts;
