1. Glória, aleluia, Cristo vem!
Receba o mundo o Rei;

Ouvi aclamações
Por vales e montanhas,
Cidades e campanhas,
De vastas multidões,
De vastas multidões,
Ao grande, sublime Rei das nações.
3. Presto virá aqui reinar,
E os povos fruirão
Justiça e paz completas,
E as bênçãos mais seletas
Da eterna salvação,
Da eterna salvação,
Da eterna, da perfeita salvação.
