A Summary View of the Creation

Author: Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 First Line: Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes Lyrics: 1 Look up, ye saints, direct your eyes To Him who dwells above the skies; With your glad notes his praise rehearse Who form'd the mighty universe. 2 He spoke, and from the womb of night At once sprang up the cheering light; Him discord heard, and at his nod Beauty awoke, and spoke the God. 3 The word he gave, th' obedient sun Began his glorious grace to run: Nor silver moon, nor stars delay To glide along th' aetherial way. 4 Teeming with life, air, earth, and sea Obey th' Almighty's high decree; To every tribe he gives their food, Then speaks the whole divinely good. 5 But to complete the wondrous plan, From earth, and dust, he fashion'd Man; In man the last, in him the best, The Maker's image stands confest. 6 Lord, while thy glorious works I view, Form thou my heart and soul anew; Here bid thy purest light to shine, And beauty glow with charms divine.
