Genesis 1:3: God said. Let there be light: and there was light

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Let there be light (again command)
And light there in our hearts shall be,
We then through faith shall understand
Thy great mysterious majesty.
And by the shining of Thy grace
Behold in Christ Thy glorious face.
