76

JESUS I Thou Sun of Righteousness,
Shed forth Thy living rays
Stir up Thy strength, Thy mightiness,
And manifest Thy praise.

In former years Thy words of power,
'Midst darkness scattered light
Now reproduce Thy early shower,
And rain upon our night.

Send down Thy blessing from on high,
And cause Thy life below;
The good seed of Thy kingdom nigh,
In faith and hope to grow.

The faith that made Thy saints of old,
In patience to endure;
The Hope which in the cov'nant fold,
Beholds the promise sure.
