First one to get it, gets best answer.

Adam, God made out of dust.
But thought it best to make me first,
So I was made before man
To answer God's most Holy Plan.
A living being I became
And Adam gave to me my name.
I from his presence then withdrew
And more of Adam never knew.
I did my Maker's law obey
Nor even went from it astray.
Thousands of miles I go in fear
But seldom on earth appear.
For purpose wise which God did see,
He put a living soul in me.
A soul from me God did claim
And took from me the soul again.
So when from me the soul had fled
I was the same as when first made.
And without hands, or feet, or soul,
I travel on from pole to pole.
I labor hard by day, by night
To fallen man I give great light behold.
Thousands of people young and old
Will by my death great light behold.
No right of wrong can I conceive
The scriptures I cannot believe.
Although my name therein is found
They are to me and empty sound.
No fear of death does trouble me,
Real happiness I'll never see.
To heaven I shall never go
Or to hell below.
Now when these lines you slowly read,
Go search your Bible with all speed.
For that my name is written there
I do honestly to you declare.

Who am I?
Its a whale. Red Queen said it first so they get best answer when I can give it.
 
It's supposedly a whale, but actually a unique fish was prepared to swallow Jonah and keep him inside without being smothered or digested during the three days.

(Whale oil lamps.)

Besides, the person who wrote this is unaware that God gives all his creatures all the happiness they deserve according to their obedience to him.
