Thou, Whose almighty Word <br />Chaos and darkness heard, <br />And took their flight; <br />Hear us, we humbly pray, <br />And, where the Gospel’s day <br />Sheds not its glorious ray, <br />Let there be light! <br /> <br />Thou, Who didst come to bring <br />On Thy redeeming wing <br />Healing and sight, <br />Health to the sick in mind, <br />Sight to the inly blind, <br />O now, to all mankind, <br />Let there be light! <br /> <br />Spirit of truth and love, <br />Life giving, holy Dove, <br />Speed forth Thy flight; <br />Move on the water’s face <br />Bearing the lamp of grace, <br />And, in earth’s darkest place, <br />Let there be light! <br /> <br />Blessèd and holy Three, <br />Glorious Trinity, <br />Wisdom, love, might! <br />Boundless as ocean’s tide, <br />Rolling in fullest pride, <br />Through the world far and wide, <br />Let there be light!<br /><br />John Marriott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thou-whose-almighty-word/
