Of the Father’s Love Begotten Oleta Adams

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
