Lyrics
Verse 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! 
 
Verse 2
O that birth forever blessed, 
when a 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! 
 
Verse 3
O ye heights of heaven adore Him, 
angel hosts, His praises sing, 
pow'ers, dominions, bow before Him, 
and extol our God and King; 
let no tongue on earth be silent, 
ev'ery voice in concert ring 
evermore and evermore! 
 
Verse 4
Christ, to Thee with God the Father 
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!
