Tune: Binchester
('Happy are they, they that love God')
Genesis 1 v.26 - 2 v.25
********
All the Lord made, it very good
Not His intent man should
Live in state sinful, separate
From Him, His purpose great
Original perfection there
Did Adam and Eve share
In garden of Eden's beauty
Living whole, pure, and free
One thing there was, they to avoid
So friendship not destroyed
They not to eat of tree where known
Good and evil were shown
That tree amid garden, not hid
Free will man gave, God did
Made in image, likeness of God
Formed from the ground, dust's clod
But sin came in, of tree they ate
Had not tasted it yet
Now here be sin, here be man's fall
Yet good news, God saves all

Yes great CM Orchi (Configuration management? )
Thanks Michael. Erm, Common Metre = CM, a hymn form. I found out some abbreviations in hymn books, after years of wondering what they meant. But I can't write music though! If that's not 'Today's Useless information' (TUI).
And furthermore, why does it put in loads of \\\\\ if one edits a comment? We must know these things! lol.

Wonderful language
Thanks all.
The book of Genesis and beauty are inseparable. We may say the same about your poetry.
Thanks Gary.
