Thou whose almighty Word...

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.
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.
