24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.(KJV)

1. O God of God, O Light of Light, 
Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings! 
To Thee where angels know no night 
The song of praise forever rings. 
To Him who sits upon the throne, 
The Lamb once slain for sinful men, 
Be honor, might, all by Him won, 
Glory and praise! Amen, Amen. 

2. Deep in the prophets’ sacred page, 
Grand in the poets’ winged word, 
Slowly in type, from age to age, 
Nations beheld their coming Lord, 
Till through the deep Judean night 
Rang out the song “Good will to men!” 
Hymned by the first-born sons of light, 
Reechoed now, “Good will!” Amen. 

3. That life of truth, those deeds of love, 
That death of pain, mid hate and scorn, 
These all are past, and now above 
He reigns our King, once crowned with thorn. 
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates; 
So sang His hosts, unheard by men; 
Lift up your heads, for you He waits. 
We lift them up. Amen, Amen. 

4. Nations afar, in ignorance deep, 
Isles of the sea, where darkness lay, 
These hear His voice, they wake from sleep, 
And throng with joy the upward way. 
They cry with us, “Send forth Thy light, 
O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; 
Burst Satan’s bonds, O God of might; 
Set all men free!” Amen, Amen. 

5. Sing to the Lord a glorious song, 
Sing to His name, His love forthtell; 
Sing on, heaven’s host, His praise prolong; 
Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: 
Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; 
From angels praise and thanks from men; 
Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, 
Glory and power! Amen, Amen.
