Hymn 321: God said, Let there be light
HYMN CCCXXI.
(For Sunday School Teachers.)
God said, "Let there be light!" And light sprang forth, new born; He spake, 'twas done,--primeval night Brake into glorious morn.
Who then shall dare to say, "Let there be darkness"--none But ravening wolves that hate the day, And owls that fear the sun.
Stars, from the solar fount, Their borrow'd lustre draw; Moses came radiant from the mount To teach God's holy law.
Warm from the throne of , Where we have learnt His will; When we go forth may every face Express His image still.
Light in the Lord are we, While by His truth we stand, Reflecting beams of Deity, Like stars in His right hand.
So shall our schools be found As gardens of the Lord, And fruits of abound, Where'er we plant the Word.
