1 God has spoken by His prophets,
Spoken His unchanging Word,
Each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord.
In the world's despair and turmoil
One firm anchor holds us fast:
God is King, His throne eternal,
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 His Spirit,
Speaking to our hearts again;
In the ageless Word expounding
God's own message, now as then.
Thro' the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith yet standing fast:
God abides, His Word unchanging,
God the First and God the Last.
