God the Lord has spoken
God has been unveiled;
All His character and persons are expressed;
Unto Adam’s sons His mystery is revealed
Fully illustrated and made manifest.
God the Lord has spoken
and His heart disclosed
That His Son should have pre-eminence in all
That in His dear Son He might be glorified
Midst all His creation
either great or small.
God the Lord has spoken
Christ has been revealed:
He is very God and yet is truly man;
He is all in all
in Him all things subsist
Center and circumference of th’ eternal plan.
God the Lord has spoken
and His mystery shown
Christ and His expression has His counsel willed:
Christ with all God’s fulness as the glorious Head
And the Church His Body
with His riches filled.
God the Lord has spoken
and from heaven shown
That the triune God would blend with creature-man:
Father in the Son
the Son the Spirit is
Dwelling in the Body to fulfill His plan.
God the Lord has spoken
revelation giv’n
Of His vast creation and His lowly birth
Of His great redemption and salvation full;
May His adoration ever fill the earth.
