The Creation.

Again Gods all-creating voice Was heard in mighty thunder , The Avaters vast , Avithout a choice In twain Avere rent asunder . As ne'er had been before , The waters from the waters fled Apart with Heaven betAveen ; The one of Earth , its cradle-bed One had its nurture been

As Avill till time s no more . 'Twas then with a shout of rapturous glee A . t the mystic poAver of God ' s Majesty , In either , where they dAvell , Did the blissful angels gather and sing , Each soaring on sparkling , glittering wing , The anthemnow Ave swell .

, " Hosanna , to the Lord , Who bears the spheres along , At Avhose creating Avord Thus part the waters strong ; This gem , shall be thy boast , Thy glory far and Avide

, Moving all the starry host , Thy loved one and thy pride ; How beautiful it ' s sheen , How gracefully it wheels , No care nor ache is seen

Its bosom , to reveal , The glow upon its face , The pulse , now at its core Proclaim , through mighty space Thy love , for evermore , Then , glory to the Lord .

Hosanna , to the High Breathe , and Avorlds at thy Avord Come , " " Glory " do they cry . Even , Ave the creatures of this world From Avhence the darkness has been hurled Unto its gloomy region ,

Declare alike , from hour to honr God ' s wisdom , goodness , and his power , With A'oices now in legion Crying , ' •Glory to God on High Glory , unto thy name Who all of earthwoidd dare to try
