Jehovah! with returning light--All Hail!
_Eve_. God! who didst name the day, and separate
Morning from night, till then divided never--
Who didst divide the wave from wave, and call
Part of thy work the firmament--All Hail!
_Abel_. God! who didst call the elements into
Earth, ocean, air and fire--and with the day 10
And night, and worlds which these illuminate,
Or shadow, madest beings to enjoy them,
And love both them and thee--All Hail! All Hail!
_Adah_. God! the Eternal parent of all things!
Who didst create these best and beauteous beings,
To be beloved, more than all, save thee--
Let me love thee and them:--All Hail! All Hail!
