And God said let there be light and there was light-Gen 1:3
1 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!
2 Thou, who didst come to bring
On Thy redeeming wing
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight top the inly blind,
Oh now, to all mankind
Let there be light!
3 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!
4 Blessed and holy Three,
Glorious trinity,
Wisdom, love, might,
Boundless as ocean’s tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the earth far and wide
Let there be light!
