Haydn: The Creation, Hob. XXI:2, Pt. 1: No. 1, In the Beginning - In the Spirit - And God Saw the Light

In the beginning God made heaven and earth

And the earth was without form, and void

And darkness was upon the face of the deep

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters

And God said, "Let there be light"

And there was light

And God saw the light, that it was good

And God divided the light from the darkness

And the light was good
