God the Lord has spoken, God has
|
|
| 1. | God the Lord has spoken, God has |
| | been unveiled; |
| | All His character and persons are |
| | expressed; |
| | Unto Adam's sons His mystery is |
| | revealed, |
| | Fully illustrated and made manifest. |
| | God the Lord has spoken, and His heart |
| | disclosed, |
| | That His Son should have pre- |
| | eminence in all, |
| | That in His dear Son He might be |
| | glorified |
| | Midst all His creation, either great or |
| | small. |
| 3. | God the Lord has spoken, Christ has |
| | been revealed; |
| | He is very God and yet is truly man; |
| | He is all in all, in Him all things |
| | subsist, |
| | Center and circumference of th' eternal |
| | plan. |
| 4. | God the Lord has spoken, and His |
| | mystery shown, |
| | Christ and His expression has His |
| | counsel willed: |
| | Christ with all God's fulness as the |
| | glorious Head, |
| | And the Church His Body, with His |
| | riches filled. |
| 5. | God the Lord has spoken, and from |
| | heaven shown |
| | The the triune God would blend with |
| | creature-man: |
| | Father in the Son, the Son the Spirit is, |
| | Dwelling in the Body to fulfill His |
| | plan. |
| 6. | God the Lord has spoken, revelation |
| | giv'n |
| | Of His vast creation and His lowly |
| | birth, |
| | Of His great redemption and salvation |
| | full; |
| | May His adoration ever fill the earth. |
