New English Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal
Hymn 87 GOD WHO SPOKE IN THE BEGINNING Lyrics
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.
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.
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.
