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 hath 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 agelong Word expounding God's own message, now as then. Through the rise and fall of nations one sure faith yet standing fast: God abides, his Word unchanging, God the first, and God the last.
