And god said
‘let there be lamps
on the firmament of the heavens
to make a separation
between the day
and between the night
and let them be signs
for seasons
and for days and years.
and let them
be as lights on the firmament of the heavens
to light the earth. ‘
And it was so
And God made two great lights
the greater one to rule the day
and the lesser one to rule the night
– and the stars
And god put them on the firmament of the heavens
to light the earth.
and to rule the day and the night
and to make a separation between the light and the darkness
And God saw that it was good
and it was evening and morning
Fourth day!
Lord, you have given me so much,
I ask for one more thing –
a grateful heart.
George Herbert
