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.
