674. Gloria In Excelsis

1 Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good will towards men.

2 We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we worship Thee: we glorify Thee, we give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory,

3 O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.

4 O Lord, the only begotten Son Jesus Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,

5 That takest away the sins of the world: have mercy upon us.

6 Thou that takest away the sins of the world: have mercy upon us.

7 Thou that takest away the sins of the world: receive our prayer.

8 Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father; have mercy upon us.

9 For Thou only art holy: Thou only art the Lord;

10 Thou, only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost: art most high in the glory of God the Father.
