Hymn 115: Thou whose almighty word

Verse 1

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!

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,

Wisdom, love, might;

Boundless as ocean’s tide 

Rolling in fullest pride

Through the earth far and wide

Let there be light!
