Eternal Sun of righteousness, (Mal. 4:2)
Display thy beams divine,
And cause the glory of thy face (Ps. 80:3, Ps. 4:6)
Upon my heart to shine; (Num. 6:25, II Cor. 4:6)
Light in thy light O may I see, (Ps. 36:9)
Thy grace and mercy prove,
Reviv’d, and chear’d, and blest by thee, (Ps. 85:6-7)
The God of pard’ning love. (Ex. 34:6-7, Neh. 9:17, Mic. 7:18)
Eternal Sun of Righteousness, display Thy beams
