 1 

O Lord, Thy being is of old,

Before th' eternal past began!

For Thou th' eternal Father art,

The uncreated, great I AM!

 
 2 

Although a man with men become,

Yet Thou with God eternal art!

The same completeness Thou dost share,

And infinite as God Thou art!

 
 3 

Thine origin, the same as God,

Before creation was decreed!

Before the foremost, Thou art first,

None other doth Thyself precede!

 
 4 

Thou never changest thru all time,

Thy years are to eternity!

None is as lasting as Thyself,

Nor is there any after Thee!

 
 5 

Just as the Father, diff'ring not,

The same perfection Thou too hast!

Thou art the Alpha and the First,

Thou art Omega and the Last!

 
 6 

We praise Thee for Thine endless years,

Extol Thee for Thy perfectness!

Admiring all Thy fulness vast,

We marvel at Thy boundlessness!
