Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2

Produced by thy creating word, The world from nothing came. 2 Thy voice sent forth the high command, 'Twas instantly obeyed; And through thy goodness all things stand, Which by thy power were made. 3 Lord! for thy glory shine the whole; They all reflect thy light: For this in course the planets roll, And day succeeds the night. 4 For this the sun disperses heat, And beams of cheering day; And distant stars, in order set, By night thy power display. 5 For this the earth its produce yields, For this the waters flow; And blooming plants adorn the fields, And trees aspiring grow. 6 Inspired with praise, our minds pursue This wise and noble end-- That all we think, and all we do, Shall to thine honor tend.

To Thee there’s nothing old appears, Great God! there’s nothing new. 5 Our lives thro' various scenes are drawn, And vex'd with trifling cares; While Thine eternal thought moves on Thine undisturb'd affairs. 6 Great God, how infinite art thou! How frail and weak are we! Let the whole race of creatures bow, And pay their praise to thee. Languages: English

In vain to heav'n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear. The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bending knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice, Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord! search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.
