about

5th century hymn written by Aurelius Prudentius
Translated by J. M. Neale & H. W. Baker
Tune: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM (12th century plain chant)

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

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

O ye heights of heaven adore Him
Angel hosts, His praises sing 
Powers, dominions, fall before Him
And extol our God and King
Let no tongue on earth be silent
Every voice in concert sing
Evermore and evermore
