Glorkantas anĝeloj en alta ĉiel' (kun refreno)

Representative Text

1. Glorkantas anĝeloj en alta ĉiel';
Formortas neniam de laŭdo la son'.
De l' ter' "Haleluja!" en gaja akord'
Samcele kunsonas al Di' sur la tron'.

Jes, ni kun anĝeloj glorkantas al Di',
La Patro amata, sindona Sinjor'.
Pro benoj sennombraj verŝataj sur nin
Ni danke Lin laŭdas en sankta ador'.

2. Savanto de l' mondo, ni ŝuldas al Vi
Eternan honoron pro Via ofer'.
Nun sondu kaŝitajn profundojn de l' kor'
Kaj trovu juvelojn de fido kaj ver'.

Jes, ni kun anĝeloj glorkantas al Di',
La Patro amata, sindona Sinjor'.
Pro benoj sennombraj verŝataj sur nin
Ni danke Lin laŭdas en sankta ador'.

3. Ho, kia miraklo de amo kaj grac',
Ke Dio en Kristo suferis por ni!
Kun Li krucumitaj, liberaj de pek',
Ni vivas eterne, gefiloj de Di'!

Jes, ni kun anĝeloj glorkantas al Di',
La Patro amata, sindona Sinjor'.
Pro benoj sennombraj verŝataj sur nin
Ni danke Lin laŭdas en sankta ador'.

Tune

ST. DENIO

ST. DENIO is based on "Can mlynedd i nawr" ("A Hundred Years from Now"), a traditional Welsh ballad popular in the early nineteenth century.

BENDEMEER'S STREAM

Notes: TK calls the tune Portadown, but I regard it as an arrangement of Bendemeer's Stream, also known as The Mountains of Mourne. The text "Bendemeer's Stream" was written by Thomas Moore; "The Mountains of Mourne" was written by Percy French. ... The tune name Portadown more often refers to anoth…
