“Of the Father’s Love Begotten”
Tune: Divinum
Mysterium
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.
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.
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.
Amen. |
