Thou whose almighty word

by John Marriott

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 451 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

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, O now to all mankind, Let there be light!

Verse 3

Spirit of truth and love, Lifegiving, 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!
