Story behind the song
This song was first conceived as a congregational hymn, but converted into a choral arrangement for my Junior composition recital. Brooke Baldwin directed the choral ensemble, with Charissa Lillard on piano.
Lyrics
Gloria Patri Glory be to God the Father, Glory be to God the Son Glory be to God the Spirit: Great Jehovah, Three in One! Glory, Glo—ry, While eternal ages run! Glory be to Him who loved us, Washed us from each spot and stain; Glory be to Him who bought us, Now with God on high to reign! Glory, Glo—ry, To the Lamb that once was slain! Glory to the King of Angels, Glory to the Church’s King; Glory to the king of nations; Heaven and earth, your praises bring! Glory, Glo—ry, To the King of glory sing! Glory, blessing, praise eternal! Thus the choir of angels sings; Honor, riches, power, dominion! Thus its praise Creation brings. Glory, Glo—ry! Glory to the King of Kings! Words: Horatius Bonar, 1866 Music: Eric M. Pazdziora, © 2002.
