Of the Father's Love Begotten Lyrics

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

At His Word the worlds were framed

He commanded; it was done

Heaven 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

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

O that birth forever blessed

When the 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

This is He whom heav'n-taught singers

Sang of old with one accord

Whom the Scriptures of the prophets

Promised in their faithful word

Now He shines, the long-expected

Let creation praise its Lord

Evermore and evermore

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
