Gloria

Aaron Shust's song 'Gloria' is a worshipful Christmas piece that draws from the prophecy in Isaiah about light dawning on those in darkness. The lyrics repeatedly declare 'Gloria in Excelsis Deo' (Glory to God in the highest) and include a prayer for peace on earth for everyone. The song combines traditional Latin praise with a simple, repetitive structure that invites reflection on the coming of Christ as the light of the world. It emphasizes themes of hope, peace, and the glory of God.
