87 God Who Spoke in the Beginning
[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.

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.

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.
