In our end is our beginning

In our end is our beginning,
cosmic riddle of our birth,
why the Alpha and Omega
came in flesh and came to birth.

Death will no more signal ending,
love survives beyond this life,
not diminished or extinguished
by our common human strife.

Verses 3-4 follow

Tune: DIJON
Metre: 8.7.8.7
