LyicsJesus, Sun of Righteousness,
Brightest beam of love divine,
With the early morning rays
Do thou on our darkenss shine,
And dispel with purest light
All our night!
Like the sun's reviving ray,
May thy love, with tender glow,
All our coldness melt away,
Warm and cheer us forth to go,
Gladly serve thee and obey
All the day!
Thou our only Life and Guide!
Never leave us nor forsake:
In thy light may we abide
Till th' eternal morning break
Moving on to Zion's hill
Homeward still!
