Glory to God in the highest

Language: English after the Latin

Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you.
We bless you.
We adore you.
We glorify you.
We give thanks to you for your great glory.
Lord God, King of heaven, omnipotent Father God.
Lord, the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father.
Who removes the world’s sins, take pity on us.
Who removes the world’s sins, accept our prayers.
Who sits at the right hand of the Father, take pity on us.
Because you alone are holy.
You alone are Lord.
You alone are supreme, Jesus Christ.
With the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
