No one taught You how to shape the world in existence The only need, the power of Your word A clamor in the distance took no toll upon the air The baritone foundation of the earth became aware You speak, and the mountains leap The valleys bow The oceans throw themselves upon the beach They hear You sing. They hear You sing The tidal draw of light and dark The pearl of the sky to You does hark Bring forth Your gleam in desolate place Aria of lavish grace Beauty on high Loftiest of lullabies Sanctuary built by song To shelter and to hold The rising fell, sonorous well The melody of infinite scale Your crafting skill, beautiful will Matter made still, Your voice the quill Hammer and nail could not build what You alone sang into the world You are the eye and the beholder The one before and the one forever after
