Amor Glorioso

“Amor Glorioso” by Novo Hinário Adventista is a heartfelt hymn that celebrates the profound and sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, often referred to as the Good Shepherd. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a soul in distress, lost in misery, and then found and saved by Jesus. This act of salvation is depicted with tenderness and compassion, emphasizing the personal and intimate nature of Christ's love. The imagery of angels in heaven singing in approval underscores the divine joy and celebration that accompanies the redemption of a lost soul.

The chorus, with its exclamation of “Oh, que amor glorioso!” (Oh, what glorious love!), highlights the immense value and significance of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The phrase “Preço tão grandioso” (Such a grand price) reflects the magnitude of the price Jesus paid for humanity's salvation. The hymn repeatedly acknowledges the unparalleled grace that rescued the singer, emphasizing the transformative power of divine love and grace.

In the second verse, the lyrics describe a moment of deep personal connection with Jesus, who finds the singer in a state of abandonment and offers rescue. The tender voice of Jesus, promising eternal belonging, brings unparalleled joy and peace to the singer. This verse reinforces the theme of personal salvation and the intimate relationship between the believer and Christ. The final verse speaks of living in peace while awaiting the return of Jesus, who will ultimately bring the believer to dwell with Him eternally. This anticipation of eternal life with Christ adds a hopeful and joyous dimension to the hymn, making it a powerful expression of faith and devotion.
