A Deus Demos Glória
Hinário Adventista
Celebrating Divine Grace and Salvation
The hymn "A Deus Demos Glória" is a piece from the Hinário Adventista, a collection of hymns used by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The lyrics of this hymn express a deep sense of gratitude and praise to God for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. The repeated calls to 'give glory to God' reflect the central theme of worship and thanksgiving that is common in Christian hymnody. The hymn emphasizes the grace that is extended to even the 'most vile sinner,' highlighting the Christian belief in redemption and the opening of heaven's gates to believers.
The chorus, with its exhortations to 'rejoice' and 'praise Jesus the Savior and Redeemer,' captures the joyous response of the faithful to the sacrifice of Jesus, who is said to have shed His blood for humanity's sins. This act of sacrifice is seen as having purchased an inheritance in heaven for believers, a theme that resonates with the Christian concept of atonement and eternal life. The hymn invites listeners to believe in the love demonstrated by this sacrifice and to trust in the merits of the Son of God, with the promise that those who do so will see Jesus enthroned in heavenly glory.
The hymn is not only a call to worship but also a declaration of faith in the fundamental tenets of Christianity. It serves as a reminder to the faithful of the hope and assurance they have in Christ's redemptive work. The hymn's message is one of celebration and assurance, encouraging believers to live in the light of the grace that has been bestowed upon them and to look forward to the ultimate reward of heaven.
