SUNRISE

TENOR

1 2 1 6 6 1 1 7 3 3
The sun of Earth is metaphorical

3 4 3 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 1
Of God’s own Son, beloved Sun of Heaven

1 11 1 6 6 1 6 17
Radiating glory and majesty

1 1 2 2 1 6 1 1 7 3 3
From whom nothing can hide, His light penetrates

4 3 1 1 2 1 2 3 1
Heaven, hell, the deepest, blackest sea

6 1 1 1 6 6 1 7
He knows no darkness, only light

5 1 3 4 2 1 5 6 5 5
Night is as noonday to the Son of God

5 5 5 5 5 2 2 7 7 7 7 1 3
But even in that highest realm there was an eclipse

5 6 6 6 7 7 1 1 1
The Son left his place as sovereign

1 2 2 2 2 7 2 7 7 1 5 5 5 1
To be born among lowly men on His created Earth

2 3 2 2 6 666 6 1
Heaven’s Sun fallen into a manger

Why would He stoop so low?

7 1 1 1 1 3 2♭ 6
Oh, mystery of mysteries!

5 5 5 55 6 6 6
He came out of a love for us,

6 7 7 7 1 5 5 6 5
A world turned far, far away from Him

5 7 7 7 7 2♭ 2♭ 2♭
A world who had destroyed all ties

2♭ 2 2 2 2 3 3 3
Between themselves and God on High

2 2 7 2 2 3 3
The way was cracked and broken

5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6
Oh, love of such a magnitude,

6 7 7 7 7 1 5 5-6-5
A love that is unfathomab-le!

5 7 7 7 7 2♭ 2♭ 2♭
The Son came down to give himself

2♭2♭ 2 2 2 2 3 3 3
As a sacrifice, an offering

2 2 7 2 2 2 3
To make a Way back to God

He came but was rejected, scorned

6 7 7 7 7 1 5 5-6-5
Abused, accused and tried and ki-illed

5 7 7 7 7 2♭ 2♭ 2♭
The Son of God, the King of kings

2 2 2 2 3 3 3
Heaven’s Sun was crucified

2 2 7 2 2 3
By those He came to save

4 3 2 3 3 3 3 1 3 3
But by the third day, death could not hold him

2 2 2 2 2 4 4 4 3 7 3
The King of Light had conquered the evil one

3 3 1 1 6 7 7 2 2
The battle was fought, the war was won

6 6 6 2 2 2 7733
The ageless war won for eternity

4 3 2 3 3 3 3 3 1 3 3 3
From death He rose again, just like the sun at dawn

2 2 2 2 2 4 4 3 7 3
Triumphant, reuniting God and man

3 3 1 1 6 7 7 2 2
The mission complete, and now He sits

6 6 6 2 2 2 2 7 3 3
In the highest place in Highest Heaven

Brilliant, everlasting Su———-un—-—-rise
