Author: G. W. Briggs (1875-1959) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #248 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God has spoken — by the 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 still holds 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,
Life, before all time began,
light of light, to earth descending,
God, revealed as Son of Man.
3 God is speaking — by the Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again;
in the age-long word expounding
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith is standing fast:
God abides, his word unchanging,
God the first and God the last. Topics: God, Spirit Word of Truth, the Scriptures; Advent 2 The Word of God in the Old Testament; Christmas 1 The Incarnation; Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables; Trinity Sunday The Trinity Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER
