Author: George W. Briggs Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #32 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 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.
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 was born;
Light of light, to earth descending,
Christ, as God in human form.
3 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. Topics: God the Father Revealer; Assurance; God-Faithfulness Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY
