Author: George W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Hymnal: Christian Worship #639 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Christian Worship 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 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 from God, before time was;
Light from Light, to earth descending,
he reveals our God to us.
3 God is speaking by his Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again,
in the ageless Word declaring
his own message, now as then.
Thro' 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: Word of God Scripture: Acts 3:17-26 Languages: English Tune Title: REX GLORIAE
