Gloria Patri by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
About Gloria Patri
A confident and resounding setting of the Lesser Doxology, the Gloria Patri is traditionally sung at the end of psalms and services. Nobuaki Izawa sets the Latin text for SATB choir, calling for a full and rich sound to convey the glory of the Trinity. The music unfolds with a powerful affirmation of the eternal nature of God, with the text proclaiming, 'As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.' This hymn offers a powerful moment of praise and reflection suitable for any sacred occasion.
