The Spirit Moved Upon The Waves

Author: Fergus Ferguson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12275 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Spirit moved upon the waves That darkly rolled, a shoreless sea; He spake the word, and light broke forth, A glorious, bright immensity. 2 At His command, the mountains heaved Their rocky pinnacles on high, Island and continent displayed Their desert grandeur to the sky. 3 The voice of God was heard again, And lovely flowers and graceful trees Appeared on every vale and plain, And perfumes floated on the breeze. 4 The word went forth, and vast and high The heavenly orbs gave out their light, O’er all the earth and sea and sky, The rulers of the day and night. 5 "Glory to God!" the angels sang, With harps of gold, and tongues of flame: And all the heavenly arches rang Re-echoing with the awful theme.
