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
At His Word they were created, He commanded, it was done
Heav'n and earth and depths of ocean In their threefold order one
All that grows beneath the shining of the moon and burning sun
Evermore and evermore!
Verse 3
He is found in human fashion, death and sorrow here to know
That the race of Adam's children, Doomed by law to endless woe
May not henceforth die and perish In the dreadful gulf below
Evermore and evermore!
Verse 4
Oh that birth forever blessèd! When the virgin, full of grace
By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Savior of our race
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face
Evermore and evermore!
Verse 5
O ye heights of heav'n adore Him, Angel hosts, His praises sing
Pow'rs, 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!
Verse 6
He is here, Whom seers in old time Chanted of, while ages ran
Whom the writings of the prophets Promised since the world began
Then foretold, now manifested, to receive the praise of man
Evermore and evermore!
Verse 7
Righteous Judge of souls departed, Righteous King of them that live
On the Father's throne exalted, None in might with Thee may strive
Who at last in vengeance coming Sinners from Thy face shalt drive
Evermore and evermore!
Verse 8
Thee let old men, Thee let young men, Thee let choirs of infants sing
Thee the matrons and the virgins, And the children answering
Let their guileless songs re-echo, And the heart its music bring
Evermore and evermore!
Verse 9
Christ, to Thee with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee
Hymn and chant with high thanksgiving, And unwearied praises be
Honor, glory, and dominion, And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore!...
