God sat upon his heavenly throne
And surveyed his work below
The stars were in their heavens
The moon was all aglow.

The animals were sleeping
The birds were in their trees
The sun had set, the sea had calmed
The winds were now at ease.

The flowers had closed their petals
The trees were standing tall
The grass made not a murmur
The rain did gently fall.

For this was the beginning
Of the world that He designed
For every man and woman
To be known as all Mankind
