Thanks to God Whose Word Was Written

1.  Thanks to God whose word was written
    In the Bible's sacred page,
    Record of the revelation
    Showing God to every age.
    God has spoken:
    Praise God for the living Word.

2.  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 has spoken:
    Praise God for the living Word.

3.  Thanks to God whose Word Incarnate
    Heights and depths of life did share.
    Deeds and words and death and rising,
    Grace in human form declare.
    God has spoken:
    Praise God for the living Word.

4.  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:
    Praise God for the living Word.
