Verse 1

Thou! whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And, where the gospel’s 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;--
Oh! now to all mankind,
“Let there be light!”

Verse 3

Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving holy Dove!
Speed forth thy flight:
Move o’er the water’s face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And, in earth’s darkest place,
“Let there be light!”

Verse 1

Come, Holy Spirit, come;
Let thy bright beams arise,
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.

Verse 2

Revive our drooping faith,
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never dying love.

Verse 3

’Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life in ev’ry part,
And new create the whole.

Verse 4

Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free.
Then shall we know, and praise, and love,
The Father, Son, and thee.
