' In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, 

 -GEN. i. i. 



'And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, 

 it was very good.' GEN. i. 31. 



' O Lord, how manifold are Thy works ! in wisdom hast 

 Thou made them all.' Ps. civ. 24. 



' He hath made every thing beautiful in its season ; also He 

 hath put it into their hearts to observe the world, without 

 which no man can find out the work that God maketh from 

 the beginning to the end.' ECCLES. iii. 11. 



' These are Thy glorious works, Parent of good, 

 Almighty ! Thine this universal frame, 

 Thus wondrous fair ; Thyself how wondrous then ! 

 Unspeakable, who sitt'st above these heavens 

 To us invisible, or dimly seen 

 In these Thy lowest works ; yet these declare 

 Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine.'
