GLORIA  IN  EXCELSIS

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men. And praise be to thee in the highest. Blessed art thos, O Lord our God. We blass thee and we praise thee. We acknowledge thee Lord and we worship thee. We glorify thee. We give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thy great glory. O Lord king, the Holy One of heaven, God and Father almighty.

Lord and only begotten Son of the Father, Jesus Christ and holy Son. O Lord God, Lamb of God and Son of the Father, who didst take our nature from the Virgin. Thou didst show mercy and didst take away the sins of thr world. And now receive our prayers. O thou Holy One, who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy upon us. For thou only art holy, thou only art exalted, thou only art our Lord, Jesus Christ.

And thou art Lord, O Holy Spirit, who art in glory God with the Father. Amen.

And at all times we blass thee, O Lord, and we praise thy holy name forever and unto the ages of ages. Make us worthy, O Lord, and keep us this day in peace and without sin. Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our Fathers. Praised and glorified is thy holy name for ever. Amen.

Blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me thy statutes ; blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me thy statutes ; blessed art thou, O Lord, teach me thy statutes. O Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation. I beseech thee, O Lord, have mercy upon me and heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.

Show unto us, O Lord, thy mercies and grant us thy salvation. O Lord, thy mercy is for ever, forsake not the works of thine hands. O my Lord, I have made thee my refuge, teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. From thee, O Lord, is the fountain of life and by the light of thy countenance do we see light. Send forth thy mercies upon them that know thee, O Lord.
