Genesis 1:2: The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove,
And brooding o'er my nature's night,
Call forth the ray of heavenly love.
Let there in my dark soul be light.
And fill the' illustrated abyss
With glorious beams of endless bliss.
