in the deed that made the earth;
his the voice that called a nation,
his the fires that tried its worth.

God has spoken:
praise him for his open word!
2 Thanks to God whose Word incarnate
heights and depths of life did share,
deeds and words and death and rising
grace in human form declare. [Refrain]
3 Thanks to God whose word was written
in the Bible's sacred page,
record of the revelation
showing God to every age. [Refrain]
4 Thanks to God whose word is published
in the tongues of every race;
see its glory undiminished
by the change of time or place. [Refrain]
5 Thanks to God whose word is answered
by the Spirit's voice within;
here we drink of joy unmeasured,
life redeemed from death and sin. [Refrain]
