Analyze: Of The Father's Love Begotten

by Gerhardt, Paul (1607-1676), tr. unknown

Song Lyrics

1. Of the Fa- ther's love be- got- ten Ere the worlds be- gan to be, He is Al- pha and O- me- ga, He the source, the end- ing He, Of the things that are, that have been, And that fu- ture years shall see, Ev- er- more and ev- er- more!

2. At His Word they were cre- a- ted; He com- mand- ed; it was done: Heav'n and earth and depths of o- cean In their three- fold or- der one; All that grows be- neath the shin- ing Of the moon and burn- ing sun, Ev- er- more and ev- er- more!

3. He is found in hu- man fash- ion, Death and sor- row here to know, That the race of A- dam's child- ren, Doomed by law to end- less woe, May not hence- forth die and per- ish In the dread- ful gulf be- low, Ev- er- more and ev- er- more!

4. Oh that birth for- ev- er bless- �d! When the vir- gin, full of grace, By the Ho- ly Ghost con- ceiv- ing, Bare the Sa- vior of our race; And the Babe, the world's Re- deem- er, First re- vealed His sac- red face, Ev- er- more and ev- er- more!

5. O ye heights of heav'n a- dore Him; An- gel hosts, His prais- es sing; Pow'rs, do- min- ions, bow be- fore Him, and ex- tol our God and King: Let no tongue on earth be si- lent, Ev- ery voice in con- cert ring, Ev- er- more and ev- er- more!
