God Whose Almighty Word - Hymn With Lyrics (Cross Painting)

Here is a beautiful old hymn that is often sung on Trinity Sunday but also all year round. Lyrics written by John Marriott, 1780-1825, to an Italian tune of his time by Felice di Giardini. I am practicing my art skills - feedback very welcome on this drawing, thanks!

Lyrics:

1 God, Whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight:
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And where the gospel-day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!

2 Christ who once came to bring
On Your redeeming wing
Healing and sight,
Health to the troubled mind,
Sight where illusions blind:
Now to all humankind
Let there be light!

3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life giving, holy dove,
Speed forth your flight!
Move on the water's face
Bearing the lamp of grace
And, in earth's darkest place,
Let there be light!

4 Holy and blessed Three,
Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might!
Boundless as ocean's tide,
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the world, far and wide,
Let there be light!
