God of the Sparrow
Genesis 1: Let heav'n arise, let earth appear
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Let heav'n arise, let earth appear Lyrics:
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.

This Is the Day When Light Was First Created
Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 This is the day when light was first created,
Symbol and gift of order and design.
In light is God's intention clearly stated,
The break of day reveals his loving mind.
2 This is the day of our complete surprising,
Repeat of Easter: Christ has come to life!
Now is the feast of love's revolt and rising
Against the rule of hell and death and grief.
3 We join to praise, with ev'ry race and nation,
The God who with the world his Spirit shares;
Strong wind of change and earth's illumination,
Dispelling static thoughts and darkest fears.
4 This is the day of worship and of vision,
Great birthday of the church in ev'ry land.
Let Christians all confess their sad division
And seek the strength again as one to stand.
5 We pray that this, the day of re-creation,
May hallow all the week this is to come.
Help us, O Lord, to lay a good foundation
For all we do at work, at school, at home.

This Is My Father's World
Author: Maltbie D. Babcock; Mary Babcock Crawford Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 316 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 This is my Father's world,
and to my listening ears
all nature sings and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world;
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--
his hand the wonders wrought.
2 This is my Father's world:
O let us not forget
that though the wrong is great and strong,
God is the ruler yet.
He trusts us with his world,
to keep it clean and fair--
all earth and trees, all skies and seas,
all creatures everywhere.
3 This is my Father's world:
he shines in all that's fair;
in rustling grass I hear him pass--
he speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father's world:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King, let heaven ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad.
