[Who madest thus the earth and skies]

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished. —ii. 1.

Who madest thus the earth and skies,
A world, a six days' work of Thine,
Thou bidd'st the new creation rise,
Nobler effect of grace Divine!
We might spring up at Thy command,
For glory in an instant meet;
But by Thy will at last we stand
In gradual holiness complete.
