Christ a Sun

William Gadsby • English

Primary Scripture: Malachi 4:2

Verse 1

Jehovah is my Sun; He shines into my heart; Though clouds do often interpose, My Sun shall not depart.

Verse 2

This Sun has warmed my soul, When chilled by sin and death; Its beams have shone with strength and heat, And made me strong in faith.

Verse 3

Whatever be my frame, My Sun no change can know; Though I am dark, he still remains My light and glory too.

Verse 4

Nor death, nor sin, nor hell, Shall make him cease to shine; And, though I cannot always feel His beams, he’s ever mine.

Verse 5

’Tis no precarious light That shines on Zion’s hill; ’Tis God, essential light itself, And therefore cannot fail.
