The Beginning

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” 

Genesis 1:1 

By faith we know, the world was made

Formless at first and void: 

We know, the universe decayed 

Shall be by fire destroyed: 

But soon the coeternal Son 

We shall in glory view, 

Jehovah sitting on his throne, 

Creating all things new. 

Selections from Charles Wesley’s Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762)
