"'May Thy Daystar Rise in Me' is taken from 2 Peter 1:19: 'We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.' Peter encourages us to heed the words of the prophets, until one's personal witness and received light are akin to the brightness of the dawning sun, casting away doubts, and penetrating and illuminating all. As we seek to reflect the glory of God in our lives--as the sun and stars and other creations do--we show our desire to have the Daystar rise in our hearts. As we choose light to guide us through this darkened world, light that 'darkness cannot comprehend,' we also show our desire to have the Daystar rise in our hearts. As we keep our eye single to God's glory, we are promised that the light will grow, 'brighter and brighter until the perfect day' (D&C 50:24). Then indeed, we will have the 'more sure word of prophecy,' and the Daystar will live in our hearts" (Toni Thomas).
