Lyrics

1. Creator of the Stars of Night/ Of The Father's Love Begotten

 

Creator of the stars of night,

Thy people's everlasting light

Jesu Redeemer , save us all

And hear thy servants when they call.

​

Thou, grieving that the ancient curse

Should doom to death a universe,

Didst come to save our fallen race

By healing gifts of heavenly grace.

​

Thou cam'st, the Bridegroom of the bride,

As drew the world to eveningtide;

Proceeding from a virgin shrine,

The spotless Victim all divine.

​

At whose dread name, majestic now,

All knees must bend , all hearts must bow;

All things celestial thee shall own,

And things terrestrial, Lord alone.

​

To God the Father, God the Son,

And God the Spirit, Three in One,

Laud, honour, might and glory be

From age to age eternally. 

​

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.

​

O that birth forever blessed,

When the virgin, full of grace,

By the Holy Ghost conceiving,

Bare the Savior of our race;

And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,

First revealed his sacred face,

Evermore and evermore.

​

This is he whom seers in old time

Chanted of with one accord;

Whom the voices of the prophets

Promised in their faithful word;

Now he shines, the long expected;

Let creation praise its Lord,

Evermore and evermore.

​

O ye heights of heaven , adore him;

Angel hosts, his praises sing;

Powers, dominions bow before him,

And extol our God and King;

Let no tongue on earth be silent,

Every voice in concert ring,

Evermore and evermore.

​

Christ to thee, with God the Father,

and, O Holy Ghost to thee,

Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,

And unwearied praises be:

Honor, glory, and dominion,

And eternal victory,

Evermore and evermore.

Amen.
