Praise to the Lord of boundless might,
With uncreated glories bright!
He presence gilds the worlds above,
The unchanging source of light and love.
Our rising earth his eye beheld.
When in substantial darkness veiled;
Let there be light, Jehovah said;
And light o’er all its face was spread.
He sees the mind, when lost it lies
In shades of ignorance and vice,
And darts from heaven a vivid ray,
And changes midnight into day.
Shine, mighty God, with vigour shine
On this benighted heart of mine;
And let thy glories stand revealed,
As in the Saviour’s face beheld.
My soul, revived by heaven-born day,
Thy radiant image shall display,
While all my faculties unite
To praise the Lord, who gives me light.
