About WE GIVE GLORY TO THE LORD
When it comes time to sing the Gloria, we want a setting that lifts the spirit and gets the whole congregation involved. "We Give Glory to the Lord" does exactly that. It takes the ancient text of the Gloria and sets it to a bright, rhythmic melody that feels incredibly natural to sing. The joy of this piece lies in its straightforward, repeating chorus—a jubilant declaration that anchors the entire hymn.
What makes this arrangement especially wonderful for Sunday Mass is its call-and-response structure during the verses. As the cantors or choir sections lead the familiar lines—praising God the Father, calling upon Jesus Christ, and acknowledging the Holy Spirit—every phrase is answered with a steadfast "Glory to the Lord." This constant return to the central theme keeps the momentum alive and allows the assembly to join in effortlessly, building up to a joyful "Amen, Alleluia" at the end. It is a perfect choice for festive Sundays and seasons of celebration.
