"Have you ever commanded the morning to appear
And caused the dawn to rise in the east? /Job 38
Light appears
The earth takes shape
Timeless in wonder
Timeless in space
Earth in its beauty
The Creator makes
Earth is robed in brilliant colors
Made alive in the hand of the Potter
In this vast universe, endless and deep
Still our Creator leads his sheep
Radiant in glory, warm and tender
Jesus Christ in magnificent splendor
Glory in the dawn of creation
Became the author of our salvation
Humbled himself, became a man
Completed salvation's glorious plan
In this vast universe, endless and deep
Still our Creator leads his sheep
The angels in heaven shout for joy
What he has created can not be destroyed
The Potter has pressed his mighty seal
At his command the morning appears
Daylight spreads to the end of the earth
Restoring the world with new birth
In this vast universe, endless and deep
Still our Creator leads his sheep
God of all the universe In your mighty power
Preserves His church In this hour
Opening up channels for torrents of rain
Reviving your church once again
In the winter of sickness and wars
On the wings of your Spirit, your church still soars
The morning stars sing together
We are held with you forever
In this vast universe wide and deep
Still our Creator leads his sheep
Radiant in glory, warm and tender
Jesus Christ in magnificent splendor
Glory in the dawn of creation
Became the author of our salvation
Humbled himself, became a man
Completed salvation's glorious plan
In the middle of pestilence and war
On the wings of His Spirit, we can soar
In this vast universe, wide and deep
Still our Creator, leads his sheep

"Have you ever commanded the morning to appear?
And caused the dawn to rise in the east?
Have you made daylight spread to the ends of the earth?
To bring the end to the night's wickedness
As the light approaches.
The earth takes shape like clay pressed beneath a seal
It is robed in brilliant colors"
(Job 38: 12-14)
