Lyrics & Translation
From glory to glory
Reflects the glory
The Church comes with the one who shines brighter than the sunlight
Dispelling the darkness, destroying evil
His face is a reflector of glory, heaven pours out glory
Because the Church is coming, bursting through the gates of hell
With the sound of miracle, raising an army of lives
It is the Holy Church, persecuted here
They tried to destroy the Church's foundation
Without it, Earth would not populate heaven
She would not have the strength to worship
There would be no missionary everywhere
But the plan didn't work, no, no
They tried to silence us by killing some brothers
But it was no use, more Christians appeared
Praising like Paul and Silas in prison
Moving the great heaven, shaking the ground
Taking on the mission
The Lord's plan is what prevailed
For almost two thousand years, the Church has only grown
Jesus is the head, and teaches us to work
The foundation is very strong, nothing can shake it
That's why hell lives crying
The Church does not rest, it is always there
Shining everywhere the Church comes
Breaking strongholds to save someone
The Church comes
The Church comes with the one who shines brighter than the sunlight
Dispelling the darkness, destroying evil
His face is a reflector of glory, heaven pours out glory
Because the Church is coming, bursting through the gates of hell
With the sound of miracle, raising an army of lives
It is the Holy Church, persecuted here
The Lord's plan is what prevailed
For almost two thousand years, the Church has only grown
Jesus is the head, and teaches us to work
The foundation is very strong, nothing can shake it
That's why hell lives crying
The Church does not rest, it is always there
Shining everywhere the Church comes
Breaking strongholds to save someone
The Church comes
The Church comes with the one who shines brighter than the sunlight
Dispelling the darkness, destroying evil
His face is a reflector of glory, heaven pours out glory
Because the Church is coming, bursting through the gates of hell
With the sound of miracle, raising an army of lives
It is the Holy Church, persecuted here
The Bridegroom is coming
The Church is preparing
To sing in the choir
Together with the angels (Glory)
The Bridegroom is coming (Bursting into Glory)
He is inviting you (From Glory to Glory)
To sing in the choir (Reflects the Glory)
Together with the angels
Together with the angels
Together with the angels
The Church comes, comes, comes, more than the sunlight
Dispelling the darkness, destroying evil
His face is a reflector of glory, heaven pours out glory
Because the Church is coming, bursting through the gates of hell
With the sound of miracle, raising an army of lives
It is the Holy Church
The Church comes with the one who shines brighter than the sunlight
Dispelling the darkness, destroying evil
His face is a reflector of glory, heaven pours out glory
Because the Church is coming, bursting through the gates of hell
With the sound of miracle, raising an army of lives
It is the Holy Church, persecuted here
