| 1 | O Lord, Thou art the Alpha |
| | | And the Omega too; |
| | Thou art the First, before all, |
| | | And art the Last so true. |
| | Thou art the sole Beginning, |
| | | The only End of all; |
| | In Thee all is included, |
| | | Creations great and small. |
| 2 | Lord, since Thou art the Alpha, |
| | | All things commenced of Thee; |
| | And as the sole Omega, |
| | | All things will end in Thee; |
| | As God’s full Alphabet, Lord, |
| | | All is of Thee composed; |
| | Since Thou art all the letters, |
| | | All is in Thee enclosed. |
| 3 | As First of all the creatures, |
| | | Thou art the Head of all; |
| | As Last in God’s creation, |
| | | Thou art the close of all. |
| | As First of all the creatures, |
| | | All things by Thee consist; |
| | As Last in God’s creation, |
| | | All things for Thee subsist. |
| 4 | Since Thou art the Beginning, |
| | | Thou hast preceded all; |
| | And since Thou art the Ending, |
| | | Thou wilt inherit all. |
| | Thou, the unique Beginning, |
| | | Didst all originate; |
| | Thou, as the only Ending, |
| | | Wilt all things terminate. |
| 5 | O Lord, how we adore Thee |
| | | And treasure Thee with love; |
| | As Alpha and Omega, |
| | | Thou art all things above. |
| | We praise Thee, the Beginning, |
| | | The very First we call; |
| | We worship Thee, the Ending, |
| | | The only Last of all. |
