A vast expanse, no word in sight
A divine being, created light
Darkness fell as time passed by
Becoming of a bright blue sky
Of the deep, where water flows
A barren land of earth arose
Yet to behold, yet to bestow
The flowers, trees and herbs to grow
Moon and stars, a bright away
A blazing sun, divide the day
Creatures, fish, birds with wings
Creator of all living things
Animals made, great and small
The breadth of life, he made them all
A worthy soul for the living
To work the land, worshipping
Created good and wonderful
Of help to find so suitable
To grow in trust of faith – believe
A wife for Adam, namely Eve
To multiply, a land to fill
Peace on Earth, a divine will
Rest upon the seventh day
Guided through and shown the way
