  • O brighter than the morning star,
    Is the heart that’s pure and free;
    And the light that’s ever glowing there,
    The star of purity.

    The sun shall wane, the stars go down;
    And reign of time be o’er,
    But the living light in the heart that’s pure
    Shall shine forevermore.

    The gems within the ocean deep,
    And the wealth her caverns bear,
    Let the oceans and the caverns keep
    In darkness hidden there.

    But O Almighty Father send
    Thine angels from above
    To kindle in my heart a fire
    Of purity and love.
