O God, th' eternal Father, Thou (Hymn 10)

Verse 1: O God, th' eternal Father, Thou, The uncreated, great I AM! More ancient than the ancients are, Before the primal age began! Verse 2: From everlasting Thou art God, All time and space Thou dost transcend! The fulness of eternity, Without beginning, without end! Verse 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! Verse 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! Verse 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! Verse 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!
