Genesis 1:1: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
By faith we know, the world was made
Formless at first and void:
We know, the universe decay'd
Shall be by fire destroy'd:
But soon the co-eternal Son
We shall in glory view,
Jehovah sitting on His throne.
Creating all things new.
