chaos and darkness heard,
and took their flight:
hear us, we humbly pray,
and where the gospel-day
sheds not its glorious ray,
let there be light!
2 Saviour, who came to bring
on Your redeeming wing
healing and sight,

let there be light!
3 Spirit of truth and love,
life-giving, holy dove,
speed on Your flight!
Move on the waters' face,
bearing the lamp of grace,
and, in earth's darkest place,
let there be light!
4 Gracious and holy Three,
glorious Trinity,
wisdom, love, might:
boundless as ocean's tide
rolling in fullest pride,
through the world far and wide,
let there be light! Languages: English Tune Title: MOSCOW
