God Has Spoken by the Prophets

God has spok­en by the pro­phets

Spoken the 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 eter­nal reigns for­ev­er

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.
