Author: George W. Briggs, 1875-1959 Hymnal: Journeysongs (2nd ed.) #678 (2003) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Kingdom/Reign of God; Kingdom/Reign of God; Kingdom/Reign of God Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by the prophets,
Spoken his unchanging Word;
Each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one the righteous, Lord.
In the world's despair and turmoil,
One firm anchor holds us 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, before time was;
Light of light, to earth descending,
Christ reveals our God to us.
3 God is speaking by his Spirit,
Speaking to the hearts of all,
In the ageless Word expounding
God's own message for us all.
Through the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith yet standing fast;
God abides, his Word unchanging;
God the first, and God the last. Languages: English Tune Title: RUSTINGTON
