378. Christ the Sun of Righteousness.

DODDRIDGE.

1 To thee, O God! we homage pay,
Source of the light that rules the day;
Who, while he gilds all nature's frame,
Reflects thy rays and speaks thy name.

2 In louder strains we sing that grace
Which gives the Sun of Righteousness;
Whose nobler light salvation brings,
And scatters healing from his wings.
3 Still on our hearts may Jesus shine,
With beams of light and love divine!
Quickened by him our souls shall live,
And cheered by him shall grow and thrive.

4 Oh may his glories stand confessed,
From north to south, from east to west!
Successful may his gospel run,
Wide as the circuit of the sun!

380.
1 BEHOLD the blind their sight receive!

Behold the dead awake and live!
The dumb speak wonders; and the lame
Leap like the hart, and bless his name!

2 Thus doth the eternal Spirit own
And seal the mission of his Son:
The Father vindicates his cause,
While he hangs bleeding on the cross.
