Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #606 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Hebrews 1:2 Lyrics: 1 Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders
unmistakable and clear;
mighty signs to prove your presence,
overcoming doubt and fear
2 Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers,
still and small and scarcely heard;
only those who want to listen
catch the all-important word.
3 Lord, you sometimes speak in silence,
through our loud and noisy day:
we can know and trust you better
when we quietly wait and pray.
4 Lord, you often speak in Scripture,
words that summon from the page,
shown and taught us by your Spirit
with fresh light for every age.
5 Lord, you always speak in Jesus,
always new yet still the same;
teach us now more of our Saviour;
make our lives display his Name. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Illumination of God's Word; Jesus incarnation; Scripture; Word of God Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
