Lyrics
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to his beloved. To you sing praise, heavenly King, those who have been set free. Glory to God! Glory to God! God and Father, we praise you, we adore you, we bless you. We give glory to your name, we thank you for your gifts. Glory to God! Glory to God! Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, you, God's holy Lamb, forgive our sins. Glory to God! Glory to God! You who are at the Father's side, as our intercessor, receive our prayers, answer our cry. Glory to God! Glory to God! You alone are the Holy One, the Most High, the Lord, with the divine Spirit in the splendor of God the Father. Amen! Amen!
