Hymn: So Love Emergent Out of Chaos Brought

Euc. So love emergent out of chaos brought
The world to light!
And gently moving on the waters, wrought
All form to sight!
Love's appetite
Did beauty first excite:
And left imprinted in the air
Those signatures of good and fair,

Cho. Which since have flow'd, flow'd forth upon the sense
To wonder first, and then to excellence,
By virtue of divine intelligence!

And Neptune too,
Shews what his waves can do:
To call the Muses all to play,
And sing the birth of Venus' day,

Cho. Which from the sea flow'd forth upon the sense,
To wonder first, and next to excellence,
By virtue of divine intelligence!
