"Creation." L. M. D.
Franz Josef Haydn, (1732-1809) 1798.

2 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.

Does

What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball;
What though no real voice nor sound
Amidst their radiant orbs be found;
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
For ever singing as they shine:
"The Hand that made us is divine."

ALL THY WORKS, O HEAVENLY FATHER.

1. All Thy works, O Heavenly Father, What Thou biddest them, ful - fill,
2. Lord, 'tis of Thy lov-ing kindness That Thy gospel I have known;
3. Since my time is like an arrow, Hastening on with-out delay;

Bost.

Shall not I, Thy child, much rather Sing Thy praise and do Thy will?
Else I might have sat in blindness, Bow -ing down to wood and stone.
And Thy gate is straight and narrow, Very nar row is the way.

Hith-er to Thy hand hath led me, And hath brought me on my way; To Thy font my parents brought me, Ere Thy tender love I knew; Thou who gavest Thy Son to save me, Send Thy Holy Spirit down;

Thou hast clothed me, Thou hast fed me, Thou hast blest me every day.
And Thy min - is-ter has taught me, What to flee and what to do.
Make me do as Thou wouldst have me, Make me more and more Thine own! A-men.
