American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#11

11. To God Be Glory, Peace On Earth

1 To God be glory, peace on earth,
To all mankind good will!
We bless, we praise, we worship Thee,
And glorify Thee still.

2 For Thy great glory thanks we give,
That fills our souls with light;
O Lord, our heav'nly King, the God
And Father of all might.

3 And Thou, begotten Son of God
Before time had begun,
O Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
The Father's only Son.

4 Have mercy, Thou that tak'st the sins
Of all the world away!
Have mercy, Savior of mankind,
And hear us when we pray!

5 O Thou, who sitt'st at God's right hand,
Upon the Father's throne,
Have mercy on us, Thou, O Christ,
Who art the Holy One!

6 Thou only, with the Holy Ghost,
Whom earth and heav'n adore,
In glory of the Father art
Most high forevermore.
