Fellowship & Fairydust

Out of the dark and void of space
Light sprang to greet His hand
He drew from night and nothinginess
A bright and holy brand

And God saw that it was good
So night came and morning followed
The first day

He ripped the skies to separate
In crimson boundaries
And color was invented then
For Heaven’s Mysteries

And God saw that it was good
So night came and morning followed
The second day

The wind of His breath blew the waters
He gathered them under the sky
And forming the dry land under
Made earth and sea to lie

And His thoughts became as green things
To grow within the soil
Each with its own flow’r and seed
From poorest to most regal

And God saw that it was good
So night came and morning followed
The third day

From the light of His eye God drew the sun
To govern day in flaming light
He hung the moon from the galaxy
And placed the stars to fill the night

And God saw that it was good
So night came and morning followed
The fourth day

He bade the water bring forth creatures
Made birds to fly the heaven’s face
And each one lived and multiplied
According to His perfect grace

And God saw that it was good
So night came and morning followed
The fifth day

Then God gave life to all other mortal
Beasts dwelling on dry land
He made the cattle, and creeping things
And blessed them with His hand

“Let us make man in our own image,”
Last of all God said
And stretching out to dust He gave it
An eternal soul inspired

And God saw that it was good
So night came and morning followed
The sixth day

When He had finished His creation
God blessed what He had done
And rested from His labors then –
Thus being was begun

For God saw that it was good
So night came and morning followed
The seventh day
