Of the Father’s love begotten
Ere the world began to be
He is alpha and omega
He the source, the ending he
Of the things that are, that have been
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore
Oh ye heights of Heaven adore him
Angel hosts his praises sing
Clouds, dominions bow before him
And extol our God and King
Let no tongue on earth be silent
Every voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore
Christ to thee with God the Father
And O Holy Ghost, to thee
Hymn and chant with high thanksgiving
And unwearied praises be
Honor, glory and dominion
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore
-Marcus Aurelius Clemens Prudentius (348-413)

Does anyone know a good arrangement of this hymn?
Not sure what kind of arrangement you are looking for...? But Andrew Osenga has a great recording on the album Your King Has Come (by Indelible Grace, igracemusic.com). It's very bluesy, which fits the minor (atonal? I can't remember my musical vocab) key well.
thanks. I also found an arrangement by James Clemens that I like.
