Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#335

335. Hail, Alpha and Omega, Hail

1 Hail, Alpha and Omega, hail,
Thou Author of our faith,
The Finisher of all our hopes,
The Truth, the Life, the path.

2 Hail, First and Last, Thou great I AM,
In whom we live and move;
Increase our little spark of faith,
And fill our hearts with love.

3 O let that faith which Thou hast taught
Be treasured in our breast,
The evidence of unseen joys,
The substance of our rest.

4 Then shall we go from strength to strength,
From grace to greater grace,
From each degree of faith to more,
Till we behold Thy face.
