Eternal Sun of righteousness, Arise with healing

Verse 1
Eternal Sun of righteousness
Arise with healing in thy wings,
On Him, who feels his sore disease,
Yet when thy grace salvation brings,
With abject fear rejects his cure
Nor dares believe his pardon sure.

Verse 2
Lift the dejected sinner up,
Who only canst the valley raise,
Begotten to that gospel-hope
That sense of free forgiving grace
In peace dismiss the prostrate soul,
Assur’d his faith hath made him whole.
