In a deep, unbounded darkness
long 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.
