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.
