Creation (William Billings)
''Creation'' is a hymn tune composed by William Billings.
==History==
Billings included ''Creation'' in his final collection, ''The Continental Harmony'' (published in 1794). The words are by Isaac Watts: the first stanza is from Psalm 139 and the second from hymn 19, book 2, of his ''Hymns''. In 2002, historian of science Edward B. Davis (co-editor of ''The Works of Robert Boyle'') discovered that Watts based the second stanza on a meditation by the famous chemist Robert Boyle. In that text, from ''Occasional Reflections Upon Several Subjects'' (1665), Boyle reflected on an illness from which he had recovered, noting the great complexity of the human body and the wonder of how it all stays so well for so many years.〔Edward B. Davis, "Robert Boyle as the Source of an Isaac Watts Text set for a William Billings Anthem," ''The Hymn: A Journal of Congregational Song'', 53 (2002), 46-7〕
