Thanks to God

Text written by R. T. Brooks (1918-1985)

Sung to WYLDE GREEN, composed in 1956 by Peter Cutts (1937-    )

Psalm 33:9 For he spoke, and it came to be;

he commanded, and it stood firm.

V. 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.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

V. 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.

V. 3 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;

Praise Him for His open word.
