Author: Fred H. Kaan Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #277 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: Genesis 1 Lyrics: 1 God who spoke in the beginning,
forming rock and shaping spar,
set all life and growth in motion,
earthly world and distant star;
he who calls the earth to order
is the ground of what we are.
2 God who spoke through people, nations,
through events long past and gone,
showing still today his purpose,
speaks supremely through his Son;
he who calls the earth to order
gives his word, and it is done.
3 God whose speech becomes incarnate
Christ is servant, Christ is Lord!
calls us to a life of service,
heart and will to action stirred;
he who uses our obedience
has the first and final word.
