world without end

world without end

For ever and ever; until the end of time. This unusual wording is taken from the King James translation of the phrase in saecula saeculorum. I vowed to love him world without end. The only part of the hymn I can remember goes, "As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen."
