173. 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,
Gladly serve Thee, 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 on to Zion's hill,
Onward, upward, homeward still!
