God who spoke in the beginning,
Forming
rock and shaping spar,
Set
all life and growth in motion,
Earthly
world and distant star;
He
who calls the earth to order
Is
the ground of what we are.
2
God
who spoke thro’ men and nations,
Thro’
events long past and gone,
Showing
still today His purpose,
Speaks
supremely through His Son;
He
who calls the earth to order
Gives
His word and it is done.
3
God
whose speech becomes incarnate–
Christ
is servant, Christ is Lord–
Calls
us to a life of service,
Heart
and will to action stirred;
He
who uses man’s obedience
Has
the first and final word.
