200--Thou art the Sun of righteousness

Thou art the Sun of righteousness

200

	1.	Thou art the Sun of righteousness
		With healing in Thy wings;
		The shining of Thy glorious face
		To us Thy riches brings.
	2.	The tender mercy of our God
		Caused Thee on us to dawn,
		To those in darkness giving light
		That shades of death be gone.
	3.	Thou art the Morning without clouds,
		And as the Morning Light;
		We are the tender grass on earth,
		Who in Thy rays delight.
	4.	Thy shining light with pleasant rays
		Increases all the way;
		It shines within us more and more
		Until the perfect day.
	5.	It shines thru woe with clearest beams,
		As shining after rain;
		And in Thy mercy with Thy love
		Thy shining e'er remains.
	6.	Thou also art the Morning Star
		To us as a reward;
		While still 'tis dark it shines with light
		To those who love the Lord.
	7.	Lord, help us e'er to love Thy light
		And see things from afar;
		And look for Thee in watch and prayer
		As for the Morning Star.
