Verse 1
God, whose almighty word Chaos and darkness heard
And took their flight: Hear us, we humble pray, And where the
Gospel day Sheds not its glorious ray, Let there be light!
Verse 2
Lord, who once came to bring, On your redeeming wing,
Healing and sight, Health to the sick in mind, Sight to the
inly blind: Oh, now to humankind Let there be light!
Verse 3
Spirit of truth and love, Life giving, holy dove,
Speed forth your flight; Move on the water's face, Bearing the
lamp of grace, And in earth's darkest place Let there be light!
Verse 4
Holy and blessed 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!
