The Voice of God

The hymn reflects the themes of Isaiah 42 & 51 and focuses our praise with the acclamation “With power, with justice, Christ will be the way!”.

1.
The voice of God goes out to all the world;
God's glory speaks across the universe.
The great King’s herald cries from star to star:
“With power, with justice, Christ will be the way!”
2.
The Lord has said, “Receive my messenger,
my promise to the world, my pledge made flesh,
a lamp to every nation, light from light:
“With power, with justice, Christ will be the way!”
3.
“The broken reed he will not trample down,
nor set his heel upon the dying flame.
he binds the wounds, and health is in his hand:
“With power, with justice, Christ will be the way!”
4.
“Anointed with the Spirit and with power,
he comes to crown with comfort all the weak,
to show the face of justice to the poor:
“With power, with justice, Christ will be the way!”
5.
“His touch will bless the eyes that darkness held,
the lame shall run, the halting tongue shall sing,
and prisoners laugh in light and liberty:
“With power, with justice, Christ will be the way!”
