by JOHN MARRIOTT, 1780-1825

Thou whose almighty word
"And God said, let there be light, and there was light" Gen. 1:3
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 to bring
On Thy redeeming wing,
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
O now to all mankind
Let there be light.
Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving, holy Dove,
Speed forth Thy flight
Move o'er the waters face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light.
Blessed and holy three,
Glorious trinity,
Wisdom, love, might.
Boundless as ocean's tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the world far and wide
Let there be light.
