To see the curse removed;

We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,

And sing His bleeding love.

To God the Father, Son,

And Spirit, glory be;

Darkness brooding,

On the face of all the earth.

Light of them that sit in darkness!

Rise and shine; Thy blessings bring;

Light to lighten all the Gentiles!

To Thy brightness,

Let all kings and nations come.

Idol-gods of wood and stone,

Come, and worshiping before Him,
