Genesis 1:4

• [Gen 1:4] Thou Framer Of The Light And Dark

  Thou Framer of the light and dark, Steer through the tempest Thine own ark; Amid the howling wintry sea, We are in port if we have Thee. The rulers of this Christian land, ’Twixt Thee and us ordained to stand, Guide Thou their course, O Lord, aright; Let all do all as in Thy sight. O God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Hear Thou in Heav’n Thy children’s cry, And in our of need be nigh.

Genesis 1:12

• [Gen 1:12] Beautiful Bright Sunshine, The

  The beautiful bright sunshine, That smiles on all below, The waving trees, the cool, soft breeze, The rippling streams that flow, The shadows on the hillsides, The many tinted flowers, O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours! The beautiful affections That gather round our way, The joys that rise from household ties, And deepen day by day; The tender love that guards us Whenever danger lowers, O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours! But brighter is the shining, And tender is the love, And purer still the joys which fill The unseen home above— The home where all His children Shall sing with fuller power, “O God! how fair Thy loving care Has made this earth of ours!”

Genesis 1:31

• [Gen 1:31] All Things Bright And Beautiful

  Refrain All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful: The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. Refrain [Most hymnals omit the following verse] The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, He made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. Refrain The purple headed mountains, The river running by, The sunset and the morning That brightens up the sky. Refrain The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one. Refrain The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, To gather every day. Refrain He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. Refrain

• [Gen 1:31] Oh How Fair That Morning Broke

  Oh how fair that morning broke, When in Eden man awoke! Beast and bird and insect bright Reveled in the gladsome light; God looked down from Heav’n above, All was life and joy and love. Ah! the doleful change when sin Darkly, subtly entered in! War and pestilence and dearth Mar and sadden God’s fair earth; Human sorrow fills the air; Death is reigning everywhere. Yet rejoice; for God on high Hath not left His world to die! God’s dear Son, with dying breath, Broke the power of sin and death; Christ the Tempter overthrew, Christ is making all things new. Lord, in me be sin subdued, So may I with heart renewed, Fight the fight and run the race, Work in my appointed place, Waiting for the glad new birth Of Thy perfect Heav’n and earth.

• [Gen 1:31] Six Days Of Labor Now Are Past

  Six days of labor now are past; Thou restest, Holy God; And of Thy finished work has said, That all is very good. Yet while the seventh day is blessed, Hallowed for rest divine, Behold, a new creation needs That mighty power of Thine. Ten thousands voices praise Thy Name In earth and sea and sky; One sinner by his sin has marred The blissful harmony. O Lord, create man’s heart anew, The heart of stone remove: Then hymns of praise again shall rise, The fruits of holy love. O for the songs that Thou wilt bless, Where heart and voice agree; O for the prayers that plead aright With Thy dread majesty. All praise to God, the Three in One, Who high in glory reigns; Who by His Word hath all things made, And by His Word sustains.
