Hymn to the Creator [Earth]

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ... God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters he called seas; and God saw that it was good. - Genesis 1:1,10

Creator of the earth and sky and sea,
Who separates the water from dry land:
You formed the earth, you made it come to be.

The earth, with mountains, valleys, shoals, and sand,
With hills, plateaus, peninsulas, and all
Created by His ever potent hand.

The earth, with seasons: spring, and summer, fall,
And winter, too, then back to spring again:
New life comes forth at God's resounding call.

This all to man God gives for his domain.
