Author: George Wallace Briggs Hymnal: The Worshipbook #382 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: God has spoken— by his prophets Lyrics: 1 God has spoken— by the prophets,
Spoken his unchanging Word,
Each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord.
Mid the world's despair and turmoil,
One firm anchor holding 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 began,
Light of Light, to earth descending,
Man, revealing God to man.
3 God yet speaks— by his own Spirit
Speaking to the hearts of men,
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 is King, his Word unchanging,
God the first, and God the last.
