Author: George Wallace Briggs (1875-1959) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #379 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Lyrics: 1 God has spoken — by his 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 eternal reigns for ever,
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,
Life, before all time began,
Light of Light, to earth descending,
God, revealed as Son of Man.
3 God is speaking — by his Spirit
speaking to our hearts again;
in the ageless Word declaring
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith is holding fast:
God abides, his word unchanging,
God the first and God the last. Topics: God faithfulness of in creation; Jesus Life and Ministry; Jesus Names and images for; Proper 22 Year B; Proper 9 Year B; Prophets; Scripture; The Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: MEAD HOUSE
