God Has Spoken

D                A
God has spoken | by His prophets, |

D                A
Spoken His un- | changing Word, |

D                  A
Each from age to | age proclaiming |

D                   A         D
God, the one, the | righteous Lord. |

A       D              A        D
Mid the world's des- | pair and turmoil, |

A        D        Em      A
One firm anchor | holding fast; |

D                  A
God is King, His | throne eternal, |

D                    A       D
God the first, and | God the last. |

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 was born;
Light of light, to earth descending,
Christ as God in human form.

God is speaking by the Spirit,
Speaking to our hearts again,
In the age-long word declaring
God’s own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith is standing fast:
God abides, the Word unchanging,
God the first and God the last.
