Jesus, Sun of Righteousness
Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick (1813-1897); Christian Knorr von Rosenroth (1636-1689) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.3 Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 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 night.
2 As on drooping herb and flower
Falls the soft, refreshing dew,
Let Thy Spirit's grace and power
All our weary souls renew,
Showers of blessing over all
Softly fall.
3 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.
4 O our only Hope and Guide,
Never leave us, nor forsake;
Keep us ever at Thy side
Till th' eternal morning break,
Moving on to Zion's hill,
Homeward still.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Morning; Christ Light, Our; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Leader, Our; Love and Communion; Morning; Worship Morning Used With Tune: MORGENGLANZ DER EWIGKEIT
Jesus, Sun of Righteousness
Dayspring of eternity!
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Von Rosenroth Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.3 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics:
Dayspring of eternity!
Dawn on us this morning-tide.
Light from Light's exhaustless sea,
Now no more Thy radience hide,
But dispel with glorious might
All our night.
Let the morning dew of love
On our sleeping conscience rain;
Gentle comfort from above
Flow through life's long parch'd plain;
Water daily us Thy flock
From the rock.
Let the glow of love destroy
Cold obedience faintly given;
Wake our hearts to strength and joy
with the flushing eastern heaven,
Let us truly rise ere yet
Life hath set.
Brightest Star of eastern skies,
Let that final morn appear,
When our bodies too shall rise
Free from all that pained them here,
Strong their joyful course to run
As the sun.
To yon world be Thou our light,
O Thou glorious Sun of grace;
Lead us through the tearful night,
To yon fair and blessed place,
Where to joy that never dies
We shall rise.
Dayspring of eternity!
