Of the Father’s love begotten

lyricist: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius
Composer: John Hughes

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 and have been

And that future years shall see

Evermore and evermore.

This is He whom they in old time

Chanted of with one accord

Whom the voices of the prophets

Promised in their faithful word;

Now He shines

the long-expected;

Let creation praise its Lord

Evermore and evermore.

O ye heights of heav’n

adore Him;

Angel hosts

His praises sing;

All dominions

bow before Him

And extol our Lord and King.

Let no tongue on earth be silent

Every voice in concert ring

Evermore and evermore.

Christ

to Thee

with God the Father

And

with Holy Ghost

to Thee

Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving

And unwearied praises be;

Honor

glory

and dominion

And eternal victory

Evermore and evermore.
