194. Praise to the Lord of the boundless might

1 Praise to the Lord of boundless might,
With uncreated glories bright!
His presence gilds the worlds above;
Th' unchanging source of light and love.

2 "Let there be light," Jehovah said;
And light o'er all the earth was spread:
Nature, array'd in charms unknown,
Gay with its new-born lustre, shone.

3 He sees the mind, when lost it lies
In shades of ignorance and vice;
And darts from heav'n a vivid ray,
And changes midnight into day.

4 Shine, mighty God, with vigour shine
On this benighted heart of mine;
And let thy brighter beams reveal'd,
As in the Saviour's face beheld.

5 Thine image, on my soul impress'd,
In radiant lines shall stand confess'd;
While all my faculties unite
To praise the Lord who gives me light.
