  1. 1Of the Father's love begotten,
  2. Ere the worlds began to be,
  3. He is Alpha and Omega,
  4. He the Source, the Ending He,
  5. Of the things that are, that have been,
  6. And that future years shall see,
  7. Evermore and evermore!
  8. 2O that Birth for ever blessed,
  9. When the Virgin, full of grace,
  10. By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
  11. Bare the Saviour of our race;
  12. And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
  13. First revealed His sacred face,
  14. Evermore and evermore!
  15. 3O ye heights of heaven adore Him;
  16. Angel hosts, His praises sing;
  17. Powers, Dominions, bow before Him,
  18. And extol our God and King;
  19. Let no tongue of man be silent,
  20. Every voice in concert ring,
  21. Evermore and evermore!
  22. 4Thee let old men, Thee let young men,
  23. Thee let boys in chorus sing;
  24. Matrons, virgins, little maidens,
  25. With glad voices answering:
  26. Let their guileless song re-echo,
  27. And the heart its music bring,
  28. Evermore and evermore!
  29. 5Christ, to Thee with God the Father,
  30. And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,
  31. Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
  32. And unwearied praises be:
  33. Honour, glory, and dominion,
  34. And eternal victory,
  35. Evermore and evermore!
