The Sun of Righteousness appears

Verse 1
The Sun of Righteousness appears
To set in Blood no more!
Adore the Healer of your Fears,
Your Rising Sun adore.

Verse 2
The Saints, when He resign’d his Breath,
Unclos’d their sleeping Eyes,
He breaks again the Bands of Death,
Again the Dead arise.

Verse 3
Alone the dreadful Race He ran,
Alone the Wine press trod,
He died and suffer’d as a Man,
He rises as a GOD.

Verse 4
In vain the Stone, the Watch, the Seal
Forbid an early Rise
To Him who breaks the Gates of Hell,
And opens Paradice.
