[By faith we know, the world was made]

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. —i. 1.

By faith we know, the world was made
Formless at first and void:
We know, the universe decay'd
Shall be by fire destroy'd:
But soon the co-eternal Son
We shall in glory view,
Jehovah sitting on His throne,
Creating all things new.
