    "Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without end."

Etymology

A loose translation of in saeculum saeculi (“into an age of an age”) and in saecula saeculorum (“into ages of ages”), Latin formulas meaning “for ever and ever”; the latter appears prominently in Christian liturgy, being the last line of the Lesser Doxology. In the English counterpart world without end, world carries the archaic sense “age”. The phrase is attested from the Old English period onwards and appears in both the Book of Common Prayer and the King James Bible.
