Summary/Abstract: The Son of God who in eternity sang the song of worship of the Father in heaven, through His incarnation brought this song unto the earth. His entire life and deeds were one anthem of the worship of God the Father. A summit of this worship was His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection. The highest Priest of the New and Eternal Covenant, Jesus Christ, accepting the human nature, brought into this earthly world the anthem of the glory of God. The Church together with the Founder Jesus Christ, as His Mystical Body united in the Holy Spirit exercises the liturgy and blesses God the Father for all His gifts. A new song of the glory of the Lord is first of all the Eucharist, the sacraments, the liturgical year, sacramental’s, connected with the entire activity of Christian whose life should become the imitation of the paschal mystery of Christ. There, where the man praises God, just a word is not enough. The music and the singing in the liturgy is an indicative sign of a new song for the Lord sang by the Church until the Parousia of the Lord.
