1 Thou art the Sun of righteousness
With healing in Thy wings;
The shining of Thy glorious face
To us Thy riches brings.
2 The tender mercy of our God
Caused Thee on us to dawn,
To those in darkness giving light
That shades of death be gone.
3 Thou art the Morning without clouds,
And as the Morning Light;
We are the tender grass on earth,
Who in Thy rays delight.
4 Thy shining light with pleasant rays
Increases all the way;
It shines within us more and more
Until the perfect day.
5 It shines thru woe with clearest beams,
As shining after rain;
And in Thy mercy with Thy love
Thy shining e'er remains.
6 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.
7 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.
