Glory be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth to man forgiven,
Man, the well beloved of heaven.
Favoured mortals, raise the song;
Endless thanks to God belong;
Hearts o’erflowing with his praise,
Join the hymns your voices raise.
Mark the wonders of his hand;
Power, no empire can withstand;
Wisdom, angels’ glorious theme;
Goodness, one eternal stream.
Awful Being! from thy throne
Send thy promised blessings down:
Let thy light, thy truth, thy peace,
Bid our raging passions cease.
---Alternative verses---
Gracious Being! from thy throne
Send thy promised blessings down:
Let thy light, thy truth, thy peace,
Bid our selfish passions cease.
