Morgenstern der finstern Nacht
"Morgenstern der finstern Nacht" (literally: Morning star of the dark night) is a Christian poem in German by Angelus Silesius, first published in his poetry collection "Heilige Seelen-Lust" in 1657. It became a hymn with a melody written for it by Georg Joseph the same year. It is part of the 2013 German Catholic hymnal "Gotteslob" as GL 372, in the section "Jesus Christus". It has also been used for Advent. A common version in English, "Morning Star, O cheering sight!", was written by Bennett Harvey.
