|
<p>Of the Father’s love begotten, ere the worlds began to be,<br>
|
|
He is Alpha and Omega, He the source, the ending He,<br>
|
|
Of the things that are, that have been,<br>
|
|
And that future years shall see, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>At His Word the words were framèd; He commanded; it was done:<br>
|
|
Heaven and earth and depths of ocean in their threefold order one;<br>
|
|
All that grows beneath the shining<br>
|
|
Of the moon and burning sun, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>He is found in human fashion, death and sorrow here to know,<br>
|
|
That the race of Adam’s children doomed by law to endless woe,<br>
|
|
May not henceforth die and perish<br>
|
|
In the dreadful gulf below, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>O that birth forever blessèd, when the virgin, full of grace,<br>
|
|
By the Holy Ghost conceiving, bare the Savior of our race;<br>
|
|
And the Babe, the world’s Redeemer,<br>
|
|
First revealed His sacred face, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>This is He Whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord;<br>
|
|
Whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word;<br>
|
|
Now He shines, the long expected,<br>
|
|
Let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>O ye heights of heaven adore Him; angel hosts, His praises sing;<br>
|
|
Powers, dominions, bow before Him, and extol our God and King!<br>
|
|
Let no tongue on earth be silent,<br>
|
|
Every voice in concert sing, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>Righteous judge of souls departed, righteous King of them that live,<br>
|
|
On the Father’s throne exalted none in might with Thee may strive;<br>
|
|
Who at last in vengeance coming<br>
|
|
Sinners from Thy face shalt drive, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>Thee let old men, thee let young men, thee let boys in chorus sing;<br>
|
|
Matrons, virgins, little maidens, with glad voices answering:<br>
|
|
Let their guileless songs re-echo,<br>
|
|
And the heart its music bring, evermore and evermore!</p>
|
|
<p>Christ, to Thee with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,<br>
|
|
Hymn and chant with high thanksgiving, and unwearied praises be:<br>
|
|
Honor, glory, and dominion,<br>
|
|
And eternal victory, evermore and evermore!</p>
