Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis Laudamus te. Benedicimus te. Adoramus te. Glorificamus te. Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam. Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens. Domine fili unigenite, Jesu Christe. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius patris. Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Qui tollis peccata mundi suscipe deprecationem nostram. Qui sedes ad dexteram patris miserere nobis. Quoniam tu solus sanctus. Tu solus Dominus. Tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe. Cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.

Ehre sei Gott in der Höhe und auf Erden sei Friede den Menschen, die guten Willens sind. Wir loben Dich, Wir preisen Dich. Wir beten Dich an. Wir verherrlichen Dich. Wir danken Dir ob Deiner großen Ruhmestaten, Herr und Gott, himmlischer König, Gott, allmächtiger Vater. Herr, eingeborener Sohn, Jesus Christus. Herr und Gott, Lamm Gottes, Sohn des Vaters. Der Du die Sünden der Welt aufhebst, erbarme Dich unser. Der Du die Sünden der Welt aufhebst, erhöre unser Flehen. Der Du zur Rechten des Vaters sitzt, erbarme Dich unser. Denn Du allein bist heilig, Du allein der Herr, Du allein der Höchste, Jesus Christus, mit dem Heiligen Geiste in der Herrlichkeit Gottes, des Vaters. Amen.
