In a deep, unbounded darknesslong before the first light shone, You, 0 God, beyond all merit, worked a wonder faith makes known:in your mercy, in your mercy, You embraced us as Your own.evermore and evermore. Though our world is ever-changing, You are constant, firm, and sure, faithful to Your cov'nant promise.Trusting You, we live, secure:singing praises, singing praises, long as heart and breath endure.evermore and evermore.
