in the making of the earth.
His the voice that called a nation,
fired her vision, tried her worth.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word.

came to save our human race.
Deeds and words and death and rising
testify to heaven's grace.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word.
3 Thanks to God whose word was written
in the Bible's sacred page,
record of the revelation
showing God to every age.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word.
4 Thanks to God whose word is published
in the tongues of every race.
See its glory undiminished
by the change of time and place.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word.
5 Thanks to God whose word is answered
by the Spirit's voice within.
Here we drink of joy unmeasured,
life redeemed from death and sin.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit in the Church - Illumination of God's Word; God In Creation; Jesus incarnation; Jesus Word of God; Scripture; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HELEN
