Lyics

LIGHT of them that 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.



May the heathen, now adoring

Idol-gods of wood and stone,

Come, and, worshipping before Him,

Serve the living God alone;

Let thy glory

Fill the earth as floods the sea.



Thou to whom all power is given,

Speak the word;--at thy command,

Let thy true and faithful heralds

Spread thy name from land to land:

Lord be with them,

Always to the end of time.
