God Has Spoken by the Prophets
Author: George W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:9 Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by the prophets,
spoken the unchanging Word,
each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord!
'Mid the world's despair and turmoil
one firm anchor holding fast:
God eternal reigns forever,
God the first and God the last.
2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
brightness of the Father's glory,
with the Father ever one;
spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time was born;
Light of light, to earth descending,
Christ, as God in human form.
3 God is speaking by the Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again;
in the age-long Word declaring
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith yet standing fast:
God abides, the Word unchanging,
God the first and God the last.

We trust in you;
In all the past, through all our hopes and fears,
Your hand we view.

We own your mercies, Lord, which never fail.
2 God of the past, our times are in your hand;
With us abide.
Lead us by faith to hope's true Promised Land;
Be now our guide.
With you to bless, the darkness shines as light,
And faith's fair vision changes into sight.
3 God of the coming years, through paths unknown
We follow you;
When we are strong, Lord, leave us not alone;
Our faith renew.
Be now for us in life our daily bread,
Our heart's true home when all our years have sped.
