Here "The long-awaited moment came at last" is the correct form.

@Vishal Choudhary.
You answer is absolutely correct.
This is because "ever since" and "never before" are phrases themselves and hence, can't be altered. "Ever since" is used to express something after the occurrence of an event and "never before" is used to express something before the occurrence of an event. So, before is appended after "ever since" and since is appended after "never before" and not in between the phrases.

With 'ever' we use 'ever since or before'.
And with 'never' we use 'never before or since'.
Welcome in advance :).

When the word "or" is in between the phrase, I don't think the meaning will change.
Can anyone help me clear my doubts?

"Have" cannot be used both for since and before at the same time.
It should be "as merry a band of children as I have ever seen since or had ever seen before".
It should be "as merry a band of children as I have ever seen since or had ever seen before".
