Текст песни When the Word of God - Keswick

When the Word of God was first heard on earth
Each hill and dale with love was drawn
And the darkness fled, the chaos dispersed
From the emptiness all life was born

When the Word of God to the prophets came
The Spirit breathed through every page
So each word and phrase now carries Christ's name
And his glory shines from age to age

Come let us hear your precious voice
And send us out with hearts rejoicing
All who have ears come let us hear
How great, how great is our God

When the Word of God in the cradle lay
God's love was clothed in human flesh
The eternal Word through whom all was made
Came into his world and took a breath

When the Word of God made this world his home
He calmed the storms and stilled the waves
Melted hearts that once had been made of stone
Spoke with words of life and emptied graves

Come let us hear your precious voice
And send us out with hearts rejoicing
All who have ears come let us hear
How great, how great is our God

As the Word of God comes to us today
May emptiness be turned to praise
May our darkest fears be driven away
As our glorious Saviour fills our gaze

Come let us hear your precious voice
