Of the Father's Love Begotten
Eternal Love Unveiled: Matt Preston's Melody of Divine Origin
Lyrics
Of the Father's love begotten
Reflects on the origin of love from the Father.
Ere the world began to be
Describes the love existing before the creation of the world.
He is Alpha and Omega
Refers to the divine figure as both the beginning and end, denoting God's eternal nature.
He the source, the ending He
Emphasizes God as the origin and ultimate destination of all things.
Of the things that are that have been
Speaks of the enduring nature of things that exist and have existed.
And that future years shall see
Points to the timeless perspective, encompassing past, present, and future.
Evermore and evermore
Expresses the eternal continuity of God's love.
Oh, that birth forever blessed
Celebrates the blessedness of the birth of Jesus.
When the virgin full of grace
Recalls the grace-filled moment when the virgin conceives through the Holy Ghost.
By the Holy Ghost conceiving
Highlights the miraculous conception of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Bore the Savior of our race
Describes the Virgin Mary giving birth to the Savior, fulfilling the prophecy.
And the babe, the world's redeemer
Identifies the infant Jesus as the redeemer of the world.
First revealed His sacred face
Notes the initial revelation of the sacred face of the infant Jesus.
Evermore and evermore
Reiterates the eternal nature of God's love and the significance of the Savior's birth.
Oh
Serves as a transitional element or a musical interlude.
O ye heights of heaven adore Him
Calls upon the heavenly heights to worship and adore the divine figure.
Angel hosts His praises sing
Acknowledges angelic hosts praising and singing the praises of the divine.
Powr's, dominions, bow before Him
Portrays the submission of powers and dominions before the divine figure.
And extol our God and King
Encourages the exaltation of God as the supreme ruler and king.
Let no tongue on earth be silent
Calls for a universal expression of praise, with no silence on earth.
Every voice in concert ring
Urges every voice to join together in harmony, resonating with praise.
Evermore and evermore
Reaffirms the eternal continuity of adoration and worship.
Oh
Concludes with a final invocation of everlasting praise.
