A Manhã Gloriosa

The song 'A Manhã Gloriosa' by Novo Hinário Adventista is a powerful hymn that speaks to the anticipation and hope of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a new dawn, a 'glorious morning' that is breaking, symbolizing the imminent return of Christ. This imagery of light and morning is often used in Christian hymns to represent hope, renewal, and the promise of eternal life. The repeated refrain 'Eis que vem Jesus!' (Behold, Jesus is coming!) emphasizes the certainty and imminence of this event, encouraging believers to remain steadfast in their faith.

The song also serves as a call to action, urging listeners not to delay in accepting the message of the eternal gospel. The line 'Não vos demoreis' (Do not delay) is a reminder of the urgency of the times and the need for readiness. The hymn underscores the majesty and authority of Christ, referring to Him as 'Cristo, o Rei dos reis' (Christ, the King of kings). This reinforces the idea of Christ's supreme power and the ultimate fulfillment of His promise to return and take His people to their eternal home.

Another significant theme in the song is the resurrection of the dead. The lyrics speak of the joy and exultation that will accompany the reunion with loved ones who have passed away. 'Voltarão à vida os queridos mortos' (The beloved dead will return to life) highlights the Christian belief in the resurrection and the eternal life that awaits believers. This promise of reunion and eternal joy provides comfort and hope to those who have lost loved ones, reinforcing the hymn's overall message of hope and anticipation for the glorious morning when Jesus returns.
