Lyics

Light of them who sit in darkness,

Rise and shine - thy blessings bring;

Light to lighten all the Gentiles!

Rise with healing in thy wing:

To thy brightness

Let all kings and nations come.



Thou to whom all power is given,

Speak the word - at thy command

In every nation under heaven

Preachers shall pervade the land:

Lord, be with them,

Who for truth and Scripture stand.
