And God\u2019s great glory is shown;
Again it delivers light to men,
From his Gospel that he previously took away.<\/td>		The light now appears on the earth from above,
And God’s immense glory shines brightly abroad;
Again it delivers its light to all folks,
The Gospel that once was withdrawn by our God.<\/td><\/tr>

So let us repent and pursue with intent
The One who has given us love and reward.
