All earth was dark until You spoke,



.1

All earth was dark

until You spoke,

then all was light

and all was peace.

Yet still, O God,

so many wait,

to see the flame

of love released.



.0

Lights to the world,

O Light of man,

kindle in us

a mighty flame,

till every heart,

consumed by love,

shall rise to praise

Your holy name.



.2

In Christ You gave

Your gift of life

to save us from

the depth of night.

O come and set

our spirits free,

and draw us to

Your perfect light.



.3

Where there is fear,

may we bring joy,

and healing to

a world in pain.

Lord, build Your kingdom

through our lives,

till Jesus walks

this earth again.



.4

O burn in us,

that we may burn

with love that triumphs

in despair;

and touch our lives

with such a fire,

that souls may search

and find You there.



.

Lights to the world,

O Light of man,

kindle in us a mighty flame,

till every heart,

consumed by love,

shall rise to praise

Your holy name.
