To God the Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. A Hymn. Of Don.
Lord God, you are powerful
Your glory shines forth from the heavens
You made the earth perfect
With no death or disease or hardship
Adam and Eve were happy and warm
Walking with you in the garden
You protected them from harm
You made a shield from the sun’s damage
But after they sinned, you turned away
You cut them off before their thousandth year
When their wicked descendants multiplied
You were sorry that you made them
So you sent forth your servants
Neutrinos from a nearby star
They dissolved the elements
And the heat melted the earth
The ocean basins rose up
And the waters poured over the land
All life with breath was destroyed
Only your eight faithful servants remained
You preserved them on the ark you designed
While the earth turned as with fire deep below
Then you sent the oceans back to their place
The mountains arose and the valleys sank down
The core of the earth began melting
And your shield of protection decayed
The sun’s damage increased over time
While you sent forth your icy storms
And covered the land with mighty glaciers
But then the oceans cooled off
And your mighty volcanoes subsided
And the earth’ surface warmed up once again
But now man’s days are short
Seventy years, or eighty if they are strong
Oh Lord, you are perfect in all your works
Your ways are beyond searching out
Your thoughts are much higher than ours,
Than men’s thoughts whom you made out of dust.
Oh Lord, you are worthy of our praise
And one day every knee will bow to you
Come quickly, Lord Jesus, and restore the earth
Give us new bodies, and dry all our tears.
For you are our hope, we wait for your salvation.
Forgive our sins, that we might stand before you forever.
To the choirmaster.
