Saudai o Nome de Jesus

The song 'Saudai o Nome de Jesus' by Ellas is a powerful hymn that exalts the name of Jesus Christ, calling for universal praise and worship. The lyrics are a call to all beings, from angels to humanity, to bow down and honor Jesus, the Son of the eternal God. The repetition of the phrase 'Com glória, coroai!' (With glory, crown Him!) emphasizes the act of crowning Jesus with glory, signifying His supreme authority and divinity.

The song addresses different groups, starting with the angels ('Arcanjos, vos prostrai'), urging them to prostrate themselves before Jesus. This imagery highlights the celestial acknowledgment of Jesus' divine status. The next verse calls upon the 'escolhida geração' (chosen generation) of the eternal Father, recognizing the believers who are saved by Jesus' sacrifice. This verse underscores the gratitude and reverence owed to Jesus as the 'grande autor da salvação' (great author of salvation).

Further, the song speaks to the 'perdoados' (forgiven ones), whose love triumphs through Jesus, the 'Deus Varão, Conquistador' (God-Man, Conqueror). This line celebrates the victory of Jesus over sin and death, offering hope and redemption to believers. The final verse extends the call to all 'raças, tribos e nações' (races, tribes, and nations), urging them to honor the 'Rei dos reis' (King of kings) who has broken their chains. This universal appeal reflects the inclusive nature of Jesus' salvation, inviting all of humanity to partake in His glory.

Ellas, known for their harmonious and soulful renditions, bring a profound sense of reverence and joy to this hymn. Their musical style, often characterized by rich vocal harmonies and spiritual depth, enhances the song's message of divine worship and universal praise.
