Thou art the Sun of righteousness
With healing in Thy wings;
The shining of Thy glorious face
To us Thy riches brings.

The tender mercy of our God
Caused Thee on us to dawn,
To those in darkness giving light
That shades of death be gone.

Who in Thy rays delight.

Thy shining light with pleasant rays
Increases all the way;
It shines within us more and more
Until the perfect day.

As shining after rain;
And in Thy mercy with Thy love
Thy shining e'er remains.

To us as a reward;
While still ’tis dark it shines with light
To those who love the Lord.

And see things from afar;
And look for Thee in watch and prayer
As for the Morning Star.
