Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Of the Father's heart begotten
Ere the world from chaos rose
He is Alpha: from that Fountain
All that is and hath been flows
[Verse 2]
He is Omega, of all things
Yet to come the mystic Close
Evermore and evermore
[Verse 3]
By His Word was all created
He commanded and 'twas done
Earth and sky and boundless ocean
Universe of three in one
[Verse 4]
All that sees the moon's soft radiance
All that breathes beneath the sun
Evermore and evermore
[Verse 5]
He assumed this mortal body
Frail and feeble, doomed to die
That the race from dust created
Might not perish utterly
[Verse 6]
Which the dreadful Law had sentenced
In the depths of hell to lie
Evermore and evermore
[Verse 7]
O how blest that wondrous birthday
When the Maid the curse retrieved
Brought to birth mankind's salvation
By the Holy Ghost conceived
[Verse 8]
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer
In her loving arms received
Evermore and evermore
[Verse 9]
This is He, whom seer and sibyl
Sang in ages long gone by
This is He of old revealed
In the page of prophecy
[Verse 10]
Lo! He comes, the promised Saviour
Let the world His praises cry!
Evermore and evermore
[Verse 11]
Sing, ye heights of heaven, his praises
Angels and Archangels, sing!
Wheresoe'er ye be, ye faithful
Let your joyous anthems ring
[Verse 12]
Every tongue his name confessing
Countless voices answering
Evermore and evermore
Written by: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, [traditional]
