stands alone in glory blazing.
Let us, if we dare to speak,
join the saints and angels praising.
Praise and glory, praise and glory,
praise and glory to our Lord!
[* Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!]
Let us, if we dare to speak,
join the saints and angels praising.
2 Trembling at his feet we saw
Moses and Elijah speaking.
All the prophets and the law
shout through them their joyful greeting:
Praise and glory, praise and glory,
praise and glory to our Lord!
[* Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!]
All the prophets and the law
shout through them their joyful greeting.
3 Swift the cloud of glory came,
God, proclaiming in its thunder,
Jesus as the Son by name!
Nations, cry aloud in wonder:
Praise and glory, praise and glory,
praise and glory to our Lord!
[* Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!]
Jesus as the Son by name:
nations, cry aloud in wonder.
4 Jesus is the chosen one,
living hope of ev'ry nation,
hear and heed him, ev'ryone;
sing with earth and all creation:
Praise and glory, praise and glory,
praise and glory to our Lord!
[* Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!]
Hear and heed him, ev'ryone;
sing with earth and all creation.
*Outside the season of Lent
