Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick (1813-1897); Christian Knorr von Rosenroth (1636-1689) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #30 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.3 Lyrics: 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 flower
Falls the soft, refreshing dew,
Let Thy Spirit's grace and power
All our weary souls renew,
Showers 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 O 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.
Amen. Topics: Times of Worship Morning; Christ Light, Our; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Leader, Our; Love and Communion; Morning; Worship Morning Tune Title: MORGENGLANZ DER EWIGKEIT
