22. Glory to God in the highest, and upon earth peace

Glory to God in the highest, and upon earth peace,
Good-will among men:
We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we give thanks to Thee,
We worship Thee, we glorify Thee,
For Thy great glory.
O Lord the King in heaven, God the Father Almighty,
O Lord the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ,
And Holy Spirit:
O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
Who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us:
O Thou who takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer:
O Thou who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy upon us:
For Thou only art holy, Thou only art the Lord,
Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

Every day will I bless Thee,
And praise Thy Name for ever,
And for ever and ever.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, through this day also
That we may be kept without sin,
Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers,
And praised and glorified be Thy Name
For ever and ever. Amen.

Blessed art Thou, O Lord: teach me Thy judgments.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord: teach me Thy judgments.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord: teach me Thy judgments.
O Lord, Thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation:
I have said: O Lord, have mercy upon me,
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee.

O Lord, to Thee have I fled for refuge: teach me to do Thy will,
For Thou art my God,
For with Thee is the fountain of life.
In Thy light shall we see light:
Extend Thy mercy to them that know Thee.
