1 Of the Father's love begotten,
ere the worlds began to be,
Christ 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 ye heights of heaven, sing praises;
angels and archangels sing!
And on earth let all the faithful
now your joyous anthems ring,
ev'ry tongue Christ's name confessing,
countless voices answering,
evermore and evermore!
3 Christ, to thee with God Creator,
and O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
and unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory, and dominion,
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore!
