Luke 1:44: God by His almighty word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
God by His almighty word
The world's foundations laid,
Spake the universe restored.
The new creation made:
Christ on earth His wonders wrought,
And by the word He works again;
By the word His saints are brought
Unto a perfect man.
When the evangelic sound
A pardon'd sinner hears,
Paradise again is found,
And God to man appears;
Quicken'd by His heavenly voice.
We spring to life, and meet our Lord,
I'riumph, evermore rejoice.
And praise the' Incarnate Word.
