Of the Father's Heart

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 He is Omega, of all things Yet to come the mystic close Evermore and evermore This is He, whom seer and sibyl Sang in ages long gone by This is he of old revealed In the page of prophecy Lo! He comes, the promised Saviour Let the world his praises cry Evermore and evermore Sing, ye heights of heaven, his praises Angels and Archangels, sing Wheresoe'er ye be, ye faithful Let your joyous anthems ring Every tongue his name confessing Countless voices answering Evermore and ever-, evermore
