Thanks to God Whose Word Was Spoken

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  
Glorified the flesh of man.  
Deeds and words and death and rising  
Tell the grace in heaven's plan.  
God has spoken, God has spoken;  
Praise Him for His open Word.  

3 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, God has spoken;  
Praise Him for His open 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, God is speaking;  
Praise Him for His open Word.
