Creator of the Earth and Sky (EN 1)

EN 1 Creator of the Earth and Sky

Gen.1.1

Versi Version 1

1

Creator of the earth and sky,

Ruling the firmament on high,

Clothing the day with robes of light,

Blessing with gracious sleep the night.

2

That rest may comfort weary men,

And brace to useful toil again,

And soothe awhile the harassed mind,

And sorrow’s heavy load unbind.

3

Day sinks; we thank Thee for Thy gift;

Night comes; and once again we lift

Our prayer and vows and hymns that we

Against all ills may shielded be.

4

Thee let the secret heart acclaim,

Thee let our tuneful voices name,

Round Thee our chaste affections cling

Thee sober reason own as King.

5

That when black darkness closes day,

And shadows thicken round our way,

Faith may no darkness know, and night

From faith’s clear beam may borrow light.

6

Rest not, my heaven born mind and will;

Rest, all the thoughts and deeds of ill;

May faith its watch unwearied keep,

And cool the dreaming warmth of sleep.

7

From cheats of sense, Lord, keep me free;

And let my heart’s depth dream of Thee;

Let not my envious foe draw near,

To break my rest with any fear.

8

Pray we the Father and the Son,

And Holy Ghost: O Three in One,

Blest Trinity, whom all obey,

Guard Thou Thy sheep by night and day.
