~~~
Now heaven in fullest glory shone;
Earth smiled in all her rich attire;
The room of air by fowl is fill'd;
The water swell'd by shoals of fish;
By heavy beasts the ground is trod:
But all the work was not complete;
There wanted yet that wondrous being,
That, grateful, should God's power admire,
With heart and voice His goodness praise.
