Jesus, Sun of Gladness

Jesus

Sun of glad­ness

Fountain Thou of grace;

Cure for ev­ery sad­ness

Turn to me Thy face;

Look in mer­cy ten­der

On Thy child to­day

Help and so­lace ren­der

Be my staff and stay.

Purge me

O my Sav­ior

By Thy pre­cious blood;

Teach me true be­hav­ior

O my high­est God;

Every day and hour

Suffer me to see

Lord

the cleans­ing pow­er

Of Thy death for me.

Lord

my sole de­sire

Is to serve Thee well

And I would as­pire

E’er with Thee to dwell.

Joyous praise be giv­en

To Thy name

O Lord

Who are both in Heav­en

And on earth ad­ored.
