Author: Reginald Thomas Brooks Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thanks to God whose word was spoken
in the deed that made the earth;
his the voice that called a nation,
his the fires that tried her worth.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word!
2 Thanks to God whose Word incarnate
human flesh has glorified,
who by life and death and rising
grace abundant has supplied.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word!
3 Thanks to God whose word was written
on the Bible's sacred page,
record of the revelation
showing God to every age.
God has spoken, God has spoken:
praise him for his open word!
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.
God is speaking, God is speaking:
praise him for his open word!
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.
God is speaking, God is speaking:
praise him for his open word!
