1. Jesus, Sun of righteousness, Brightest beam of love divine, With the early morning rays, Do Thou on our darkness shine, And dispel with purest light All our night. 2. As on drooping herb and flow'r Falls the soft refreshing dew, Let Thy spirit's grace and pow'r All our weary souls renew; Show'rs of blessing over all Softly fall. 3. Like the sun's reviving ray, May Thy love with tender glow All our coldness melt away, Warm and cheer us forth to go, Gladly serve Thee and obey All the day. 4. Oh, our only Hope and Guide, Never leave us nor forsake, Keep us ever at Thy side Till th' eternal morning break Moving on to Zion's hill, Homeward still. 5. Lead us all our days and years] In Thy straight and narrow way; Lead us through the vale of tears To the land of perfect day, Where thy people, fully blest, Safely rest. Amen.	1.
