Thou, Whose Almighty Word

 

VERSE 1

Thou, whose almighty Word

[or Thou, whose eternal word]

Chaos and darkness heard,

And took their flight;

Hear us, we humbly pray,

And, where the Gospel’s day

Sheds not its glorious ray,

Let there be light!

 

VERSE 2

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!

 

VERSE 3

Spirit of truth and love,

Life giving, holy Dove,

Speed forth Thy flight;

Move on the water’s face

Bearing the lamp of grace,

And, in earth’s darkest place,

Let there be light!

 

VERSE 4

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!
