Gloria in Excelsis (new)

Glory to God in highest heav’n,
On earth peace and goodwill toward men.
We praise You and we bless Your name;
With grateful thanks, Your glory proclaim;
Our adoration now we bring,
To You, O Lord, our heav’nly King;
With joy we glorify
Our Father, God Most High.

Lord Jesus Christ, O Holy One,
The Lamb of God, the Father’s Son;
Have mercy on us now we pray,
Take all our sin and guilt away;
At God’s right hand, upon the throne,
O Lord our King, the Cornerstone;
Have mercy, show us grace,
Before our Father’s face.

Come Holy Spirit, Light from above,
Inflame us with the Savior’s love;
A brighter faith and hope impart,
O write Your Law within our hearts;
And lead us in the way of Christ,
A holy, living sacrifice;
Come Holy Spirit, now,
Your saints with love endow.
