---
O Sun of righteousness, arise,
With healing in thy wing!
To my diseas’d, my fainting soul,
Life and salvation bring.
These clouds of pride and sin dispel
By thy all-piercing beam;
Lighten mine eyes with faith, my heart
With holy hope inflame.
My mind by thy all-quickning power
From low desires set free:
Unite my scatter’d thoughts, and fix
My love entire on thee.
Father, thy long-lost son receive!
Saviour, thy purchase own!
Blest Comforter, with peace and joy
Thy new-made creature crown!
Eternal undivided Lord,
Co-equal One and Three,
On thee all faith, all hope be plac’d,
All love be paid to thee.
