OF THE FATHER'S LOVE BEGOTTEN
Words: Prudentius (348-c.413),m tr. J. M. Neale
Music: Melody from Pice Cantiones
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.
O that birth forever blessed
When a virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving
bare the Saviour of our race,
and the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
Evermore and evermore
O ye heights of heav’n, adore Him;
Angel hosts, His praises sing;
Power, 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.
