Light of them that sit in darkness,

Rise and shine! thy blessings bring

Light to lighten all the Gentiles!

Rise with healing on thy wing;

To thy brightness

Let all kings and nations come.

2 May the heathen now adoring

Idol-gods of wood and stone,

Come, and, worshiping before him,

Serve the living God alone!

Let thy glory

Fill the earth as floods the sea.

3 Thou to whom all power is given,

Speak the word: at thy command

Let thy truth and faithful heralds

Spread thy name from land to land:

Lord, be with them

Always to the end of time.
