Charles H. Giffen - Of the Father's love begotten - текст песни (слова)

1 
 
 
 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! 
 Saeculorum saeculi! 
 2 
 
 
 O that Birth for ever blesséd! 
 when the Virgin, full of grace, 
 By thy Holy Ghost conceiving, 
 bare the Savior of our race; 
 And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, 
 first revealed His sacred Face, 
 Evermore and evermore! 
 Saeculorum saeculi! 
 3 
 
 
 O ye heights of Heav'n adore Him; 
 angel hosts, His praises sing; 
 All dominions, bow before Him, 
 and extol our God and King; 
 Let no tongue on earth be silent, 
 ev'ry voice in concert ring, 
 Evermore and evermore! 
 Saeculorum saeculi! 
 4 
 
 
 Christ, to Thee with God the Father, 
 and, O Holy Ghost to Thee, 
 Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving, 
 and unwearied praises be; 
 Honour, glory, and dominion, 
 and eternal victory. 
 Evermore and evermore! 
 Saeculorum saeculi!
