Our Sun of Righteousness

Resplendent sun! your bril­liant beams

Should make my heart con­fess

A deep­er awe of Him who is

Our Sun of Right­eous­ness.

O lit­tle star

that sweet­ly shines

In heav­en like a gem

Your light re­calls sal­va­tion’s star

The Star of Beth­le­hem!

O fall­ing rain

your wel­come drops

Make droop­ing na­ture live;

Our Sav­ior to all thirst­ing souls

Water of life will give.

O flow­er

op­en­ing to the sun

Teach my heart ne’er to close

To Him whose pure

sweet life was like

The li­ly and the rose.

O guile­less lamb

bring back to me

That life of toil and pain!

The suf­fer­ings of the heav’n­ly Lamb

Who for my sins was slain.

Dear Sav­ior

may we love Thee so

That all good things may be

But mir­rors

where our seek­ing eyes

Find im­ages of Thee!
