LYRICS:
Thy strong word did cleave the darkness;At thy speaking it was created light we thank theeWhile thine ordered seasons ! Alleluia! Praise to thee who light dost send!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia without end!
Lo, on those who dwelt in darkness,Dark as night and deep as death,Broke the light of thy salvation,Breathed thine own life-giving ! Alleluia! Praise to thee who light dost send!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia without end!
Thy strong Word bespeaks us righteous;Bright with thine own holiness,Glorious now, we press toward glory,And our lives our hope ! Alleluia! Praise to thee who light dost send!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia without end!
From the cross thy wisdom shiningBreaketh forth in conqu’ring might;From the cross forever beamethAll thy bright redeeming ! Alleluia! Praise to thee who light dost send!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia without end!
Give us lips to sing thy glory,Tongues thy mercy to proclaim,Throats to shout the hope that fills us,Mouths to speak thy holy ! Alleluia! May the light which thou dost sendFill our songs with alleluias, Alleluias without end!
God the Father, light-creator,To thee laud and honor thee, Light from Light begotten,Praise be sung Spirit, light-revealer, Glory, glory be to , angels, now and ever Praise the holy Trinity!
