| | | Let There Be Light |
| | | John Marriott (1816) |
| |
| |
| THOU, Whose Almighty word | |
| Chaos and darkness heard, | |
| And took their flight; | |
| Hear us, we humbly pray; | |
| And, where the gospel’s day | 5 |
| Sheds not its glorious ray, | |
| Let there be light! | |
| |
| Thou, Who didst come to bring | |
| On Thy redeeming wing | |
| Healing and sight, | 10 |
| Health to the sick in mind, | |
| Sight to the inly blind, | |
| Oh, now to all mankind | |
| Let there be light! | |
| |
| Spirit of truth, and love, | 15 |
| Life-giving, holy Dove, | |
| Speed forth Thy flight! | |
| Move on the waters’ face | |
| Bearing the lamp of grace, | |
| And in earth’s darkest place | 20 |
| Let there be light! | |
| |
| Holy and blessed Three, | |
| Glorious Trinity, | |
| Wisdom, Love, Might! | |
| Boundless as ocean’s tide | 25 |
| Rolling in fullest pride, | |
| Through the earth, far and wide, | |
| Let there be light! | |
