Glória Sempiterna

Representative Text

1 Glória, glória sempiterna
A Quem sobre a cruz morreu,
Que, por caridade terna,
Já por nós a vida deu!
Glória seja (bis)
Dada a Quem por nós sofreu. (bis)

2 Seu amor é verdadeiro,
Nunca muda, nem tem par,
Não conhece paradeiro,
Nada o pode desviar.
Graças damos (bis)
A Quem sabe assim amar. (bis)

3 Celebrando a santa história
Do Calvário e sua cruz,
Cantaremos sempre: "Glória
Seja a Ti, Senhor Jesus!"
Aleluia! (bis)
A Quem enche os céus de luz. (bis)
