Glória Ao Justo, Fiel Cordeiro

The song "Glória Ao Justo, Fiel Cordeiro" by CCB - Congregação Cristã no Brasil is a profound hymn of worship and reverence dedicated to Jesus Christ, often referred to as the Lamb of God. The lyrics celebrate Jesus' purity, sacrifice, and the salvation He offers to humanity. The term 'Cordeiro' (Lamb) is a significant Christian metaphor, symbolizing Jesus' role as the sacrificial lamb who takes away the sins of the world. This imagery is deeply rooted in Christian theology and is a central theme in many hymns and religious texts.

The song begins by exalting Jesus Christ, the immaculate Lamb, and speaks of His infinite love and glory. It highlights His descent to Earth, bringing power and splendor, which is a reference to the Incarnation – the belief that God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. This act of divine love and humility is a cornerstone of Christian faith, emphasizing God's willingness to enter human history to redeem humanity.

As the hymn progresses, it encourages believers to follow Jesus with complete trust, holding onto the hope of reaching the 'lar de amor' (home of love), which symbolizes Heaven. The lyrics speak of being guided and supported by the 'sábio Condutor' (wise Conductor), a metaphor for Jesus as the shepherd leading His flock. This guidance is seen as essential for navigating the trials of life and maintaining faith.

The final verses of the song focus on giving eternal glory and praise to Christ for His redemptive work. It acknowledges His victory over sin and death through His sacrifice on the cross ('morte no madeiro'), which reconciles humanity with God. This reconciliation is viewed as the ultimate gift, granting believers the inheritance of eternal life in the celestial home. The hymn concludes with a powerful declaration of Jesus' purity, holiness, and truth, reinforcing the central message of worship and gratitude for His sacrificial love.
