Hail, sacred truth! whose piercing raysDispel the shades of night;Diffusing o'er the mental worldThe healing beams of light.

2

Jesus, thy word, with friendly aid,Restores our wandering feet;Converts the sorrows of the mindTo joys divinely sweet.

3

O send thy light and truth abroad,In all their radiant blaze,And bid th' admiring world adoreThe glories of thy grace.
