 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.

 
 2 

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

That 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.
