A hymn of glory let us sing — Lyrics
A hymn of glory let us sing,
new hymns throughout the world shall ring;
by a new way none ever trod
Christ takes his place – the throne of God!
You are a present joy, O Lord;
you will be ever our reward;

About A hymn of glory let us sing
This unison setting of A hymn of glory let us sing is a sacred hymn in the Gregorian chant tradition. Its plainchant melody is characteristic of the genre, offering a clear and direct musical line. The English text celebrates the Ascension of Christ, proclaiming him ascended Lord and One with the Father and Spirit. It speaks of Christ taking his place on the throne of God, offering present joy and eternal reward. The music's character is fitting for its devotional subject, providing a simple yet profound setting for congregational singing or liturgical use. The style is one of ancient tradition, aiming for spiritual reflection and communal praise.
