O ye Light and Darkness, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

O ye Light and Darkness, bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him for ever.

O Light and Darkness, come and go,
And waft His praise on balanced wing:
O Light, your morning glories bring,
For Him spread out your evening glow;
O'er all this beauteous world below
Your joy-inspiring radiance fling:
O Light and Darkness, come and go,
And waft His praise on balanced wing.

O Darkness, bring your wondrous show
Of worlds above that shine and sing;
Make all your boundless spaces ring
With measured strains that ceaseless flow:
O Light and Darkness, come and go,
And waft His praise on balanced wing.
