1. 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.
  
2. 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.
  
3. 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.
  
4. 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.
  
5. 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.
