Glory be to God on High : and on earth peace, good will towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee : we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory. O Lord God, heavenly King : God the Father Almighty. O Lord, the only -begotten Son, Jesus Christ: Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, Thou that takest away the sins of the world : have mercy upon us. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father: have mercy upon us. For thou only art holy: thou only art the Lord. Thou only, O Christ with the Holy Ghost : art most high in the glory of God the Father. .
