The LORD Speaks

Where were you when the Lord laid,

The foundation of the earth;

Understanding what He made,

The true value of its worth.

 

He defined its measurements,

And stretched the line upon it;

The marvelous achievements;

As brought forth by his merit.

 

When the morning stars sang out,

The sons of God shouted joy;

For there was never a doubt;

The reasons He did employ.

 

He shut in the sea the door,

When it burst out from the womb;

 Making a hole at its core,

To place Satan in his tomb.

 

God made the clouds its garment,

Thick darkness its swaddling band;

Sun-drenched as a fine raiment,

That showers down on the land.

 

For prescribed limits decreed,

Set in placing doors and bars;

Allowing time to proceed,

As God has set all the stars.

 

Hitherto that shall I go,

Here shall the proud waves to stay;

The blessings the Lord let flow,

If creation will not stray.
