Had the pleasure of joining folk from all over Adelaide at the 5.00pm service at Archer Street, North Adelaide tonight.
Of the songs we sang there were a few I hadn’t heard.
This one, Before The First (So Glorious) by Kieran Metcalfe sounded good on first listen.
The lyrics, lead sheets are available free, with other scores and files available for sale.
The lyrics:
Before the first, beyond the last,
the ever-reigning one;
age to age, the one who was,
the one who is and is to come, oh Lord.
So glorious, you are so glorious.
Living, eternal one, you are so glorious.
You hung the stars, rolled out the skies
and set the earth in place.
All the works your hand has made
reflect your glory, sing your praise, oh Lord.
So glorious, you are so glorious.
Maker of heaven and earth, you are so glorious.
Who can meet your gaze, bear to see your face,
stand before you in the holiest place, the holiest place?
Yet here we stand, amazed by grace,
for, by the light of your Son,
lost are found, the weak made strong
and broken hearts rejoice as one, and sing:
So glorious, you are so glorious.
Living, eternal one, maker of heaven and earth,
treasure of infinite worth,
you are so glorious.

This YouTube features Kieran singing in a cafe, so the sound isn’t great, but you can get an idea.
