THE SUN IS RISEN IN THE SKY

Don Fortner

(Tune: Majestic Sweetness #52 CM)

The sun is risen in the sky,

The darkness is dispersed,

The night is gone, the day begun,

The dew renews the earth.

Lord Jesus, Sun of Righteousness,

Arise within my heart;

Your healing wings spread over me,

Drive darkness from my heart.

Long, long has been the night for me

Of weeping and of pain,

With heavy heart, Father, I pray,

Revive my soul again.

Spirit of God, return to me

And flood my heart with grace;

This wretched coldness drive away,

Restore my joy and peace.
