Always and ever

Always and ever, God reigns eternal,
Ceaseless, unchanging, Ancient of Days.
From choirs below and angels supernal
Alpha-Omega hears endless praise.

In the beginning, ere the first star birth,
There was the Father, Spirit and Son.
Maker, Creator, Heaven and earth
Sprang from His will-the plan was begun.

Down through the ages, secrets unlocking,
To save a people fettered with sin,
He sent the Word. He's tenderly knocking:
Open your heart and let Him come in.

Always and ever, you can be with Him
In paradise, there no more to grieve.
Praising forever, Savior and Sovereign
Through endless ages-only believe!
