Glory and honour by Charles Wood — Lyrics
Glory and honour, and laud be to Thee, King Christ the Redeemer!
Children before whose steps rais'd their Hosannas of praise.
Israel's Monarch art thou, and the glorious offspring of David,
Thou that approachest a King blest in the name of the Lord.
Glory and …
"Glory to thee in the highest" the heav'nly armies are singing:
"Glory to thee upon earth" man and creation reply.

About Glory and honour
Charles Wood's anthem Glory and honour is a powerful setting of English liturgical text, ideal for SATB choir, with opportunities for divisi. The music proclaims Christ as King, referencing the biblical accounts of his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The text draws parallels between the palm-waving crowds of Hebrews and the present-day choir, who approach the King with prayers and hymns. It contrasts the earthly welcome with the heavenly hosts singing glory to God in the highest, creating a rich and devotional musical experience that builds to a climactic expression of praise.
