[Intro] (The sound of a single, piercing trumpet) Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth! Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts! (Isaiah 6:3) The whole earth is full of His glory! Answer to me the critic of the Word! [Verse 1] Where were you when I Created? Could you even understand? Who determined its Line and Measure? Is it surely known by man? Where did I lay the Earth's foundations? Who laid its cornerstone? [Pre-Chorus: The Divine Council (Angelic Choir)] (Sotto voce, building in intensity) The morning stars sing together, Joy and Glory to the Most High [Chorus: Full Choir] Glory Glory Glory Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth! Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts! The whole earth is full of His glory! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! [Verse 2:] By Whose breath did the light shine out of the gloom? And who fashioned the stars in the celestial womb? Who commanded the bounds for the edge of the sea? "Thus far shall you come, and no further shall you be." Who clothed the heavens in a garment of clouds, And wrapped the thick darkness in swaddling shrouds? [Bridge: The Divine Council (Angelic Chant)] (The music shifts to a massive, multi-layered Sanctus. This is the "Trisagion" cited in Isaiah 6:3 and Revelation 4:8) [Chorus: Full Choir] Glory Glory Glory Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth! Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts! The whole earth is full of His glory! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! [Verse 3] Who then formed the Man from the clay of the ground, In Our own Image, where My likeness is found. Who breathed into his nostrils the breath of My Soul, And gave him a kingdom, that he might one day know The garden of grace and the fruit of the tree— Where were you when I called him to walk beside Me? [Verse 4] Who has the Wisdom, who gives purpose to heart, Who numbers the clouds, causes waters to part? Who feeds the Lion or looses the stars? Who is called upon in strife and in war? Do you know because you were born? Where were you when it all was formed? [Trumpet Solo] (A triumphant melody that mimics the "Sound of the Seventh Trumpet") [BRIDGE - Male Solo, Slow, humble and weak] Behold, my God, a vile man I have spoken once I will not speak again But I do speak twice please understand I am unworthy I am an unworthy man [Chorus: Full Choir] Glory Glory Glory Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth! Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of Hosts! The whole earth is full of His glory! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! [Outro: The Divine Council] (Fading into a celestial hum) Gloria in excelsis Deo. The morning stars sing... The sons of God shout... Holy, Holy, Holy... Glory, Glory, Glory (A final, echoing trumpet note fades into silence.)
