Thou, whose almighty word

Chaos and darkness heard

And took their flight,

Hear us, we humbly pray,

And where the Gospel day

Sheds not its glorious ray

Let there be light!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thou, who didst come

On Thy redeeming wing

Healing and sight,

Health to the sick in mine;.

Sight top the inly blind,

Oh now, to all mankind

Let there be light!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spirit of truth and love,

Life-giving, holy Dove,

Speed forth thy flight:

Move on the water’s face,

Spreading the beams of grace,

And in earth’s darkest place

Let there be light!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blessed and holy Three,

Glorious Trinity,

Wisdom, love, might;

Boundless as oceans tide

Rolling in fullest pride,

Through the earth far and ‘

Let there be light!
