THE CHORUS OF HEAVEN. 



' God spake : he looked on earth and heaven 



With mild and gracious eye ^ 

 In his own image man he made, 

 And gave him dignity. 

 He springs from the dust, 

 The lord of the earth : 

 The chorus of heaven 

 Exult at his birth. 

 And now creation's work was ended ; 



Man raised his head, he spoke ; 



The day of rest by God ordained — 



The sabbath morning — broke."
