Lyrics

“धर्म का सूर्य उदय होगा” (मलाकी 4:2) धार्मिकता का सूरज उदय अब होगा, किरणों से उस की चंगाई देगा; पंखों में सब को ढाँपे रहेगा ।। 1. क्योंकि देखो वह धधकते भट्टे का, दिन आता है, दिन आता है; सब अभिमानी और दुष्टों का भाग, आग में होगा और दण्ड भी वह देगा । 2. सेनाओं का प्रभु वह यों कहता है, नाश का वह दिन है, नाश का वह दिन है; न्याय का वह दिन है और भयानक है, भस्म सब होगा और पता न रहेगा । 3. यहोवा का भय यदि तुम सब मानोगे, पश्चाताप करोगे, पश्चाताप करोगे; बहुतायत जीवन वह तुम को देगा, रक्षा करेगा और थामे रहेगा । 4. प्रभु ने ठहराया है, उस की प्रजा जो; निज भाग होंगे, निज भाग होंगे; कोमलता करेगा वह पुत्र समान, मीरास भी बनाएगा, अधिकार देगा । 5. प्रेम उस का अनमोल, सनातन और आत्मिक; कैसा महान है, कैसा महान है; प्राण उस ने दिया है पापी के लिए, छुटकारा देगा और क्षमा भी करेगा । 6. प्रभु के जो तुम हो, दुष्ट को लताड़ोगे; जयवन्त बनोगे, जयवन्त बनोगे; शत्रु बनेंगे राख, पाँव के नीचे; विजय का आनन्द तुम को स्वर्ग से वह देगा । 7. न भूलो तुम अब प्रभु के वचन को, तैयार रहो, तैयार रहो; आयेगा प्रभु महिमा के साथ, तुम को ले जाएगा साथ रखेगा ।

Key Takeaways

•Dharmikta Ka Suraj means "the Sun of Righteousness", taken from Malachi 4:2, where God promises that the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings.
•The song is close to 60 years old. It was once sung in early-morning prayer at 4 AM with harmonium, tabla, and chimta, and its original writer is unknown.
•Its seven verses draw on Malachi 3 and 4, moving from the day of judgment to God's care for His people and the return of Jesus, with one verse pointing to Christ's sacrifice for sinners.

Some songs are written for a season. Others outlive the people who first sang them. Dharmikta Ka Suraj is one of the second kind. For close to sixty years, this Hindi Masihi Geet has been sung by believers who gathered before sunrise, around 4 AM, with a harmonium, a tabla, and a chimta keeping time. Nobody today can say for certain who wrote it. What has survived is the song itself, passed from one generation of worshippers to the next.

A song built on Malachi

What sets this hymn apart is how closely it follows Scripture. Most of its lines are drawn from the last chapters of the Old Testament, Malachi 3 and 4. The chorus rests on one of the most hopeful promises in the Bible:

"But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall." (Malachi 4:2, KJV)

The chorus pictures that Sun rising now, bringing healing in its rays and sheltering God's people beneath its wings.

What the seven verses walk through

The first two verses take up Malachi 4:1, the warning of a day that burns like a furnace, when pride and wickedness are judged and nothing of them is left. The song does not soften this. It names the day of judgment plainly, as the prophet did.

The third verse answers that warning with an invitation. Those who fear the Lord and turn back to Him in repentance are promised abundant life, protection, and His steady hand, echoing God's call in Malachi 3:7 to return to Him.

The fourth verse turns to Malachi 3:17. The Lord has set apart a people as His own treasured possession, and He promises to care for them the way a father cares for his son, giving them an inheritance and authority.

The fifth verse steps beyond Malachi to the heart of the gospel. It celebrates the precious, eternal love of God, who gave His life for sinners, bringing redemption and forgiveness. Here the song makes plain who the Sun of Righteousness is: Jesus Christ.

The sixth verse follows Malachi 4:3. Those who belong to the Lord will stand in victory, with the enemy brought low beneath their feet, and the joy of that victory comes from heaven itself.

The final verse draws on Malachi 4:4 and looks ahead to the return of Christ. It calls believers not to forget the Word of the Lord, to stay ready, because the Lord is coming again in glory to gather His people and keep them with Him.

Raised again in worship

This recording was captured live during an Elevating CHRIST worship service, led by Fr. Jaswant Rana, with music by Myra and Ujjwal, female vocals by Seema, and mixing and editing by John. The song was kept as close to its traditional form as possible, so that those who grew up with it will recognise it, and a new generation can learn it.

If this song reminds you of the church you grew up in, share it with your parents and grandparents. And if you know who first wrote it, we would love to hear from you.

Listen next: Khushkhabri

Malachi is the last book of the Old Testament. Long after it, the angel announced good tidings of great joy in Luke 2, and Khushkhabri celebrates that good news. Watch Khushkhabri
