Colossians 1:13-17: "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
John 1:1-4: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men."
Malachi 4:2: "But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall."
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord."

Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people's everlasting Light:
O Christ, Redeemer, save us all
And hear Thy servants when they call.
Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the healing, full of grace,
To cure and save our ruined race.
Thou cam'st the Bridegroom of the bride,
As drew the world to eventide,
The spotless Victim all divine
Proceeding from a virgin shrine.
At whose dread name, majestic now,
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All things celestial Thee shall own,
And things terrestrial, Lord alone.
O Thou, whose coming is with dread
To judge the living and the dead,
Preserve us from the ancient foe
While still we dwell on earth below.
To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally.
Amen.

The first verse seems to come from the Colossians and John texts cited. Where they say, "All things" were created by God, the hymn just specifies "the stars of night." Both texts also mention God as light (although the Colossians text does it a bit by opposites, saying that God has delivered us from darkness).
The Malachi text seems to be present in the second verse, specifically "Thou... Hast found the healing, full of grace, / To cure and save our ruined race." Both mention healing.
The second-to-last verse ("O Thou, whose coming is with dread...") comes from the Thessalonians text. To that text's mention of the second coming, the hymn adds the judgement of the living and the dead and a plea to "preserve us from the ancient foe."

The lines "At whose dread name, majestic now, / All knees must bend, all hearts must bow" in the fourth verse comes from Philippians 2:10: "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." However, this isn't cited in the hymnal.
