Advent Carols . VID<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of the Father\u2019s heart begotten,<\/strong>
Ere the world from chaos rose,<\/strong>
He is Alpha, from that Fountain
All that is and hath been flows;
He is Omega, of all things,
Yet to come the mystic Close,
Evermore and evermore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By His Word was all created<\/strong>
He commanded and \u2019twas done;<\/strong>
Earth and sky and boundless ocean,
Universe of three in one,
All that sees the moon\u2019s soft radiance,
All that breathes beneath the sun,
Evermore and evermore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He assumed this mortal body,<\/strong>
Frail and feeble, doomed to die,<\/strong>
That the race from dust created,
Might not perish utterly,
Which the dreadful Law had sentenced
In the depths of hell to lie,
Evermore and evermore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O how blest that wondrous birthday,<\/strong>
When the Maid the curse retrieved,<\/strong>
Brought to birth mankind\u2019s salvation
By the Holy Ghost conceived,
And the Babe, the world\u2019s Redeemer
In her loving arms received,
Evermore and evermore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sing, ye heights of heaven, his praises;<\/strong>
Angels and Archangels, sing!<\/strong>
Wheresoe\u2019er ye be, ye faithful,
Let your joyous anthems ring,
Every tongue his name confessing,
Countless voices answering,
Evermore and evermore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
