God Who Spoke in the Beginning

Verse 1

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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
