Let heav�n arise, let earth appear,
said the Almighty Lord:
The heav�n arose, the earth appeared,
at his creating word.
Thick darkness brooded o�er the deep:
God said, �Let there be light:�
The light shone forth with smiling ray,
and scattered ancient night.
He bade the clouds ascend on high;
the clouds ascend, and bear
A wat�ry treasure to the sky,
and float upon the air.
The liquid element below
was gathered by his hand;
The rolling seas together flow,
and leave the solid land.
With herbs, and plants, and fruitful trees,
the new-formed globe he crowned,
Ere there was rain to bless the soil,
or sun to warm the ground.
Then high in heav�n�s resplendent arch
he placed two orbs of light,
He set the sun to rule the day,
the moon to rule the night.
Next, from the deep, th� Almighty King
did vital beings frame;
Fowls of the air of every wing,
and fish of every name.
To all the various brutal tribes
he gave their wondrous birth;
At once the lion and the worm
sprung from the teeming earth.
Then, chief o�er all his works below,
at last was Adam made;
His Maker�s image blessed his soul,
and glory crowned his head.
Fair in th� Almighty Maker�s eye
the whole creation stood.
He viewed the fabric he had raised;
his word pronounced it good.
