O Lord, Thou art the Alpha
And the Omega too;
Thou art the First, before all,
And art the Last so true.
Thou art the sole Beginning,
The only End of all;
In Thee all is included,
Creations great and small.
Lord, since Thou art the Alpha,
All things commenced of Thee;
And as the sole Omega,
All things will end in Thee;
As God’s full Alphabet, Lord,
All is of Thee composed;
Since Thou art all the letters,
All is in Thee enclosed.
As First of all the creatures,
Thou art the Head of all;
As Last in God’s creation,
Thou art the close of all.
As First of all the creatures,
All things by Thee consist;
As Last in God’s creation,
All things for Thee subsist.
Since Thou art the Beginning,
Thou hast preceded all;
And since Thou art the Ending,
Thou wilt inherit all.
Thou, the unique Beginning,
Didst all originate;
Thou, as the only Ending,
Wilt all things terminate.
O Lord, how we adore Thee
And treasure Thee with love;
As Alpha and Omega,
Thou art all things above.
We praise Thee, the Beginning,
The very First we call;
We worship Thee, the Ending,
The only Last of all.
