Glory And Praise

During the season of Lent, the joyful Alleluia is put away, and the Church adopts a more solemn tone as we prepare to hear the Gospel. "Glory And Praise" serves this exact liturgical moment. Arranged by Okoro Sixtus C., this short acclamation provides a reverent yet uplifting greeting to Christ the Word before the Gospel reading.

The piece is written for a standard four-part choir and moves with a steady, deliberate pace. The repeated phrase, "Glory and Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ," allows the congregation to easily internalise the response. In the choir loft, directors will appreciate the straightforward harmony that supports the text without overwhelming its simple, penitential dignity.

Singing this acclamation helps shift the focus of the Mass toward the upcoming scripture. It carries a quiet strength, reminding everyone in the pews that even in a season of fasting and reflection, giving glory to Christ remains at the heart of the liturgy.
