158. God, whose almighty word

1 God, 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!

2 Saviour, who came to bring
on your 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!

3 Spirit of truth and love,
life-giving, holy Dove,
speed on your flight!
Move on the waters' face
bearing the lamp of grace
and, in earth's darkest place,
let there be light!

4 Gracious and holy Three,
all-glorious Trinity,
wisdom, love, might:
boundless as ocean's tide
rolling in fullest pride
through the world far and wide,
let there be light!
