I am Alpha and Omega by Roger Petrich — Lyrics
About I am Alpha and Omega
This powerful anthem, I am Alpha and Omega, is ideal for services celebrating the divine nature of Christ, particularly during Eastertide or for general occasions emphasizing His eternal sovereignty. Roger Petrich sets the profound words from the Book of Revelation in English, creating a stirring and majestic setting. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures, with the choir proclaiming "Alleluia! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." This confident declaration of Christ's unending existence is a fitting choice for choirs seeking anthems that are both theologically substantial and musically uplifting, inspiring contemplation and awe in the listener.
