John Marriott

God the Father

Thou whose almighty word

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.

God the Son

Thou who did come to bring

On Thy redeeming wing

Healing and sight

Health to the sick in mind

Sight to the inly blind,

O now to all mankind

Let there be light.

God the Holy Spirit

Spirit of truth and love,

Life-giving, holy, Dove,

Speed  forth Thy flight

Move on the waters face,

Bearing the lamp of grace

And in earth’s darkest place

Let there be light.

God the Trinity

Blessed and Holy Three

Most glorious Trinity,

Wisdom, Love, Might,

Boundless as ocean’s tide

Rolling in fullest pride                                      

Through the world far and wide

Let there be light

John Marriott  1780-1825
