Hymn 85
Thou, whose almighty word
- 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 top the inly blind.
Oh now, to all mankind
Let there be light!
- 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!
- Blessed and holy Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, love, might;
Boundless as ocean's hde
Rolling in fullest pride.
Through the earth far and wide.
Let there be light!
