Lyics

Hail, sacred truth! whose piercing race,

Dispel the shades of night,

Diffusing o'er a sinful world,

The healing beams of light.



Thy word, O Lord, with friendly aid,

Restores our wandering feet,

Converts the sorrows of the mind,

To joys divinely sweet.



O, send thy light and truth abroad,

In all their radiant blaze;

And bid th' admiring world adore

The glories of thy grace.
