And God said,
Let the waters under the heavens
be gathered together into one place,
and let the dry land appear: and it was so

And God called the dry land Earth;
and the gathering together
of the waters called the Seas:
and God saw that it was good.

And from the crew of Apollo 8,
we close with good night,
good luck, a Merry Christmas,
and God bless all of you -
- all of you on the good Earth.
