"Let There Be Light!"

Author: John Piper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 8:36 First Line: "Let there be light!" thus spoke the Lord Lyrics: 1 "Let there be light!" thus spoke the Lord; thus we were made and thus restored. Christ's conquering Word created all; our shining hope: his sovereign call. 2 Now Christ has summoned us to speak his mighty Word, though we are weak. So let our feet be Gospel-shod, and all the power belong to God. 3 Christ speaks and freedom is conferred; he reigns triumphant in his Word to frustrate Satan's fatal might, and lead his captives into light. 4 Come, broken-hearted, take good cheer; come, crushed in spirit, do not fear. The Lord who reigns in blinding light dwells with the lowly and contrite. 5 Now let us set the world aflame; proclaim the glory of his name! His light be everywhere adored, and every creature own him Lord!
