Genesis 1:20-25

• [Gen 1:20] Almighty God, Who From The Flood

  Almighty God, who from the flood Didst bring to light a twofold brood; Part in the firmament to fly, And part in ocean’s depths to lie; Appointing fishes in the sea, And fowls in open air to be, That each, by origin the same, Its separate dwelling place might claim: Grant that Thy servants, by the tide Of blood and water purified, No guilty fall from Thee may know, Nor death eternal undergo. Be none submerged in sin’s distress, None lifted up in boastfulness; That contrite hearts be not dismayed, Nor naughty souls in ruin laid. O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ Thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

• [Gen 1:20] Fish In Wave, The Bird On Wing, The

  The fish in wave, the bird on wing, God bade the waters bear; Each for our mortal body’s food His gracious hands prepare. But other food, of richer cost, The immortal spirit needs; By faith it lives on every word That from His mouth proceeds. Faith springing from the blood of Christ, Has flowed o’er every land; And sinners through the vanquished world Bow down to its command. Its light the joy of Heav’n reveals To hearts made pure within; And bids them seek by worthy deeds Eternal crowns to win. By faith the saints of old were strong The lion’s wrath to tame; By faith they spurned the tyrant’s threats, And scorned the raging flame. Lord, grant that we the path may tread Whereon its light doth shine; And gather, as we onward go, The fruits of love divine. O praise the Father; praise the Son, On Whose most precious blood Rests all our faith; and praise to Him Who with Them both is God.
