Rejoice in the praise of his worth!
Glory to God in the highest,
All creatures of heavenly birth!
Glory to God in the highest,
And peace to his people on earth.
2 Worship the Lord, the Almighty;
Devotion and thankfulness bring.
"Praise be to God for his glory
And peace to his people," we sing;
"Glory to God in the highest,
The Father and heavenly King."
3 Jesus, the Christ, the Redeemer,
The Son of the Father on high;
Led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And Lord who was willing to die;
God in the heavenly places,
"Have mercy upon us," we cry.
4 Christ and he only is holy,
The Lord whose dominion we own;
One with the Father and Spirit,
Most high, everlasting, alone;
Reigning eternal in glory,
The glory of God on his throne. Scripture: Luke 2:14 Used With Tune: RUSSWIN Text Sources: Gloria in excelsis Deo
