I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Through the tender mercy of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us,

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; to which you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
