Cuan Gloriosa Será La Mañana
Cantor Cristão
Awaiting the Dawn of Glory
The song "Cuan Gloriosa Será La Mañana" by Cantor Cristão is a hymn that expresses the Christian anticipation of the second coming of Jesus Christ. The lyrics paint a picture of a future time when Christ returns and brings about a transformation of the world as we know it. The song describes a morning of glory where nations are united, and Jesus is welcomed as the savior and comforter. The imagery of a world without the need for the sun's light or warmth suggests a divine presence that outshines the natural order, signifying a new era of spiritual enlightenment and eternal comfort.
The hymn also touches on the Christian belief in the resurrection and the gathering of the faithful, including the 'faithful Christian,' the 'valiant worker,' and the 'church, the bride of the lamb,' in the embrace of the Lord. This gathering is depicted as a moment of ultimate fulfillment and joy, free from sorrow, tears, and pain. The repeated lines emphasize the completeness of this transformation, where earthly concerns are replaced by the presence of Jesus, who is the ultimate source of solace and consolation.
Lastly, the song serves as a call to await this glorious morning with hope and to welcome the God of love. The reference to everything being 'color de rosa' (rose-colored) and the 'holy fragrance of the Lord' suggests a state of perfection and bliss. The hymn encourages believers to look forward to this promised future with faith and to find comfort in the assurance of Jesus' return and the eternal peace it will bring.
