| 1 | O God, th’ eternal Father, Thou, |
| | The uncreated, great I AM! |
| | More ancient than the ancients are, |
| | Before the primal age began! |
| 2 | From everlasting Thou art God, |
| | All time and space Thou dost transcend! |
| | The fulness of eternity, |
| | Without beginning, without end! |
| 3 | Th’ eternal source of all Thou art, |
| | Before the heavens were decreed! |
| | Thou art the first of all the first, |
| | And e’en the foremost dost precede! |
| 4 | Thou art the life that ever lasts, |
| | From age to age Thou endest not! |
| | More lasting than all that which lasts, |
| | Beyond the ultimate Thou art! |
| 5 | Thou art the Alpha as the first, |
| | Omega, as the last Thou art! |
| | From start to end Thou hast no lack, |
| | Complete and perfect, wanting not! |
| 6 | We praise Thee for Thine endless years, |
| | Extol Thee for Thy boundlessness! |
| | We praise Thee for Thy fulness vast, |
| | Extol Thee for Thy Perfectness! |
