Before the beginning,
the father of the nation, before the patriarchs
he was the Everlasting Father,
born before there was
our savior, reconciling us to God
Everlasting Father
our brother, Christ,
foretold by the prophets,
honored by David
sung in his praises to God
Before time, one God
now living, risen
watching over the living and the dead
everlasting, for all time
