The Perfect World, by Adam Trod

 

VERSE 1

The perfect world, by Adam trod,

Was the first temple built by God;

His fiat laid the corner stone,

And heaved its pillars one by one.

 

VERSE 2

He hung its starry roof on high,

The broad expanse of azure sky;

He spread its pavement, green and bright,

And curtained it with morning light.

 

VERSE 3

The mountains in their places stood,

The sea, the sky; and all was good;

And when its first pure praises rang,

The morning stars together rang.

 

VERSE 4

Lord, ’tis not ours to make the sea,

And earth, and sky, a house for Thee;

But in Thy sight our offering stands,

A humbler temple, made with hands.
