Thou glorious Sun of righteousness,
On this day risen to set no more,
Shine on me now to heal, to bless,
With brighter beams than e’er before.
Shine on thy work of grace within,
On each celestial blossom there;
Destroy each bitter root of sin,
And make thy garden fresh and fair.
Shine on thy pure eternal word,
Its mysteries to my soul reveal;
And whether read, remembered, heard,
Oh let it quicken, strengthen, heal.
Shine, till thy glorious beams shall chase
The blinding film from every eye!
Till every earthly dwelling-place
Shall hail the day-spring from on high!
Shine on, shine on, eternal Sun!
Pour richer floods of life and light,
Till that bright Sabbath be begun,
That glorious day which knows no night.
