Lyrics
Your flame is forever, never old, ever new
Constant, never fading, never ending, ever true
Unchanging, you change all things, near yet from so far
Wherever I lie to take my rest, there You are
Gloria, the tides and wind rise in praise
Gloria, calling the name of the Ancient of Days
The dreams and deeds of all men are open to you
From our birth to our death, every step that we take you foreknew
Love overwhelming, wild and wide as an uncharted sea
Our hearts are ever restless, ?til they find their rest in thee
Gloria, maker of heaven and Saviour of man
Gloria, angels and earth drawn in your eternal plan
(Oboe break)
The lost and the lowly you call by their names, Lord on high
Even the sparrow that falls is under your eye
You fix the seasons, even Christ?s suffering hour
Dying to rob the tyrant death of all power
Gloria, clothed in majesty
Gloria, let your mercy cover me
Gloria, clothed in majesty
Gloria, let your mercy cover me
(Choristers)
Gloria Deo
Gloria Deo
Gloria Deo
Gloria
