Thanks to God

Lyrics by: Henry Van Dyke (1906)
Music by: John Williams Lloyd (1906)
Tune: LLANFAIRPWLL · 8.8.8.8.D
Scripture: Colossians 3:15-17

Verse 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;
Praise Him for His open Word.

Verse 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;
Praise Him for His open Word.

Verse 3

Thanks to God whose Word is answered
By the Spirit's voice wihin.
Here we drink of joy unmeasured,
Life redeemed from death and sin.
God is speaking;
Praise Him for His open Word.
