Jesus, Let All Thy Lovers Shine

Jesus, let all Thy lovers shine, Illustrious as the sun; And, bright with borrowed rays divine, Their glorious circuit run.

Beyond the reach of mortals, spread Their light whereer they go; And heavenly influences shed On all the world below.

As giants may they run their race, Exulting in their might; As burning luminaries, chase The gloom of hellish night.

As the great Sun of righteousness, Their healing wings display; And let their luster still increase Unto the perfect day.
