God has spoken by His prophets,
Spoken
His 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
is King, His throne eternal,
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 began,
Light
of light, to earth descending,
Man,
revealing God to man.
3
God
yet speaks by His own Spirit
Speaking
to the hearts of men,
In
the age long Word expounding
God's
own message, now as then;
Through
the rise and fall of nations
One
sure faith yet standing fast,
God
is King, His Word unchanging,
God
the first, and God the last.
