Lyrics:
Thy strong Word did cleave the darkness;
At Thy speaking it was done,
For created light we thank thee,
While Thine ordered seasons run.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise to thee who light dost send!
Alleluia without end!
Lo, on those who dwelt in darkness,
Dark as night and deep as death,
Broke the light of Thy salvation,
Breathed Thine own life-giving breath.
Thy strong Word bespeaks us righteous;
Bright with Thine own holiness,
Glorious now, we press toward glory,
And our lives our hopes confess.
From the cross Thy wisdom shining
Breaketh forth in conqu'ring might;
From the cross forever beameth
All Thy bright redeeming light.
Give us lips to sing Thy glory,
Tongues Thy mercy to proclaim,
Throats to shout the hope that fills us,
Mouths to speak Thy holy name.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
May the light which Thou dost send,
Fill our songs with alleluias,
Alleluias without end!
God the Father, Light-Creator,
To Thee laud and honor be.
To Thee, Light from Light begotten,
Praise be sung eternally.
Holy Spirit, Light-Revealer,
Glory, glory be to Thee.
Mortals, angels, now and ever
Praise the Holy Trinity!
Alleluia,
Amen!

Yet again, songs like this practically speak for themselves. This particular songs, in my opinion, meets all five categories with sheer excellence. The theology is amazing, it is unifying in it's pronouns, it is victorious, proclaims the triune God as Lord over all, and musically it is gorgeously reverent without manipulative melodies. I give this song a perfect 5/5!
