Glory be to God on high,

God whose glory fills the sky!

Peace on earth to man forgiven,

Man, the well-beloved of heaven!

Favored 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!

Gracious Being! from Thy throne

Send Thy promised blessings down;

Let Thy light, Thy truth, Thy peace,

Bid our selfish passions cease.
