575. Glory to God in the Highest

1 Glory to God in the highest,
and peace to God's people on earth.

2 Lord God, heavenly King,
almighty God and Father,

3 We worship You, we give You thanks,
we praise You for Your glory.

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

5 You take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us;

6 You are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.

7 For You alone are the Holy One,
You alone are the Lord,

8 You alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father.
