Da gloria al Señor

Representative Text

1. Da gloria al Señor, de rodillas adórale
en la hermosura de su santidad,
tu plena obediencia cual oro ofreciéndole
con el incienso de grata humildad.

2. Echada a sus pies esa carga que oprímete,
la llevará sobre su corazón;
tus penas te quitará, limpiando tus lágrimas,
guiando tus pies a mayor bendición.

3. En sus santos atrios adonde convídate,
aunque eres pobre no temas entrar;
la firme, constante fe y el puro, sencillo amor:
tales ofrendas pon sobre el altar.

4. Y cuando tú vayas temblando a llevárselas,
por su Hijo amado las aceptará;
y tras noche lúgubre habrá aurora espléndida:
gozo, alegría y paz te dará.

John Samuel Bewley Monsell (b. St. Colomb's, Londonderry, Ireland, 1811; d. Guilford, Surrey, England, 1875) was educated at Trinity College in Dublin and served as a chaplain and rector of several churches in Ireland after his ordination in 1835. Transferred to England in 1853, he became rector of Egham in Surrey and was rector of St. Nicholas Church in Guilford from 1870 until his death (caused by a construction accident at his church). A prolific poet, Monsell published his verse in eleven volumes. His three hundred hymns, many celebrating the seasons of the church year, were issued in collections such as Hymns and Miscellaneous Poems (1837), Spiritual Songs (1857), Hymns of Love and Praise (1863), and The Parish Hymnal (1873).
