Representative Text

1 Glória, nos céus, a Deus;
Paz, sobre a terra, aos Seus,
Haja afinal. Breve isto tem de ser,
Quando Jesus descer e, com real poder,
Vencer o mal.

2 Graça, verdade e luz
Nos manifesta a cruz
Do Redentor. Ele por nós sofreu,
Por nós a vida deu e nosso copo encheu
De rico amor.

3 Quão grande tal amor!
Quem sabe seu valor?
Vasta afeição! Deus é seu manancial!
A morte sem igual traz gozo perenal
Ao coração.

4 Por esse amor, aqui,
Queremos dar-Te a Ti
Culto, Senhor. Ao nosso Pai também,
Que tanto amor nos tem, por este eterno bem
Damos louvor.
