Thou art the Sun
of righteousness
With healing in Thy wings;
The shining of Thy glorious face
To us Thy riches brings.
The tender mercy of our God
Caused Thee on us to dawn,
To those in darkness giving light
That shades of death be gone.
Thou art the Morning
without clouds,
And as the Morning Light;
We are the tender
grass on earth,
Who in Thy rays delight.
Thy shining light
with pleasant rays
Increases all the way;
It shines within us
more and more
Until the perfect day.
It shines thru woe
with clearest beams,
As shining after rain;
And in Thy mercy with Thy love
Thy shining e’er remains.
Thou also art
the Morning Star
To us as a reward;
While still ‘tis dark
it shines with light
To those who love the Lord.
Lord, help us e’er
to love Thy light
And see things from afar;
And look for Thee
in watch and prayer
As for the Morning Star.
