564. Jesus, Sun Of Righteousness

1 Jesus, Sun of Righteousness,
Brightest Beam of love divine,
With the early morning rays,
Do Thou on our darkness shine
And dispel, with purest light,
All our long and gloomy night.

2 Like the sun's reviving ray,
May Thy love, with tender glow,
All our coldness melt away,
Warm and cheer us forth to go,
Thee to honor and obey
All our life's short earthly day.

3 Thou, our only Hope and Guide!
Never leave us nor forsake:
In Thy light may we abide
Till the endless morning break,
Moving to Thy holy will
Onward, upward, homeward still!

Amen.
