Jesus, Let All Thy Lovers Shine

Jesus

let all Thy lov­ers shine

Illustrious as the sun;

And

bright with bor­rowed rays di­vine

Their glo­ri­ous cir­cuit run.

Beyond the reach of mor­tals

spread

Their light wher­e’er they go;

And heav­en­ly in­flu­enc­es shed

On all the world be­low.

As gi­ants may they run their race

Exulting in their might;

As burn­ing lu­mi­na­ries

chase

The gloom of hell­ish night.

As the great sun of right­eous­ness

Their heal­ing wings dis­play;

And let their lus­ter still in­crease

Unto the per­fect day.
