1 Of the Father's love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the Source, the Ending, he,
Of the things that are that have been
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore.

2 O that birth forever blesse'd
When the Virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race,
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face,
Evermore and evermore.

3 O ye heights of heaven, adore him;
Angel hosts, his praises sing;
Powers, dominions, bow before him
And extol our God and King.
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Every voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore.

4 Christ, to thee, with God the Father
And, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unending praises be,
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore. Amen.
