God spoke in power—“Let there be light,”
And light directly shone;
The voice of God resistless is,
He speaks, and it is done.
God spoke in judgment—“Thou shalt die.”
Man sinned, and death came in;
A blighted world attests the fact,
Of human guilt and sin.
God spoke in mercy—“Look to Christ,
Believe in Him, and live.”
Thousands receive the precious word—
‘Tis God’s delight to give.
And still in perfect love He speaks,
His accents all divine!
O wandering one, the call obey,
And glory shall be thine.
