Verse 1
Thou whose almighty word
Choas 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!

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,
Spreading the beams of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!

Verse 4
Blessed and holy Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Grace, love and might,
Boundless as ocean's tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the world far and wide
Let there be light!
