Glory in the highest to the God of heaven

Glory in the highest to the God of heaven!
Peace to all your people through the earth be given!
Mighty God and Father, thanks and praise we bring,
singing hallelujah to our heavenly king.

2. Jesus Christ is risen, God the Father’s Son!
With the Holy Spirit, you are Lord alone!
Lamb once killed for sinners, all our guilt to bear,
show us now your mercy, now receive our prayer.

3. Christ the world’s true Saviour, high and holy One,
seated now and reigning from your Father’s throne:
Lord and God, we praise you! Highest heaven adores:
in the Father’s glory, all the praise be yours.
