Rejoiced in godlier fashion (7)

I believe the answer is:

gloried

'rejoiced' is the definition.
(glorying is a kind of rejoicing)

'godlier fashion' is the wordplay.
'fashion' indicates an anagram.
'godlier' is an anagram of 'GLORIED'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gloried that I've seen before include "Took great pride (in)" , "Exalted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
