Genesis 1:16

• [Gen 1:16] Creator Of The Stars Of Night

  Creator of the stars of night, Thy people’s everlasting light, Jesu, 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 medicine, full of grace, To save and heal a ruined race. Thou cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride, As drew the world to evening-tide; Proceeding from a virgin shrine, The spotless Victim all divine. At Whose dread Name, majestic now, All knees must bend, all hearts must bow; And things celestial Thee shall own, And things terrestrial, Lord alone. O Thou Whose coming is with dread To judge and doom the quick and dead, Preserve us, while we dwell below, From every insult of the foe. To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Laud, honor, might, and glory be From age to age eternally.

• [Gen 1:16] Maker Of The Sun And Moon, The

  The Maker of the sun and moon, The Maker of our earth, Lo! late in time, a fairer boon, Himself is brought to birth! How blest was all creation then, When God so gave increase; And Christ, to heal the hearts of men, Brought righteousness and peace! No star in all the heights of heaven But burned to see Him go; Yet unto earth alone was given His human form to know. His human form, by man denied, Took death for human sin: His endless love, through faith descried, Still lives the world to win. O perfect love, outpassing sight, O light beyond our ken, Come down through all the world tonight, And heal the hearts of men!

• [Gen 1:16] Most Holy Lord And God Of Heaven

  Most holy Lord and God of Heaven, Who to the glowing sky hast given The fires that in the east are born With gradual splendors of the morn; Who, on the fourth day, didst reveal The sun’s enkindled flaming wheel, Didst set the moon her ordered ways, And stars their ever winding maze; That each in its appointed way Might separate night from day, And of the seasons through the year The well remembered signs declare; Illuminate our hearts within, And cleanse our minds from stain of sin; Unburdened of our guilty load May we unfettered serve our God. 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.
