Lyrics

Of the Father's love begotten, ere the worlds began to be, he is Alpha and O mega, he the Source the Ending he, of the things that are and have been, and the future years shall see, evermore and evermore!

By his word was all created. He commanded and 'twas done. Earth and sky and boundless ocean, universe of ThreeinOne. All that sees the moon's soft radiance, all that breathes beneath the sun, evermore and evermore!

This is he whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord, whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word. Now he shines, the longexpected. Let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore!

O ye heights of heav'n adore him, angel hosts, his praises sing. Pow'rs, dominions, fall before him, and extol our God and King. Let no tongue on earth keep silent, ev'ry voice in concert ring, evermore and evermore!
