GLORY BE TO GOD

Michael Nwankwo

Opening / Refrain

Glory be to God,
Glory be to God,
Glory be to God,
God in the highest. Glory!

Verse 1

And on earth peace to men of good will.
We praise you, we bless you,
We bless and worship you,
We glorify your great name.
We give you thanks, Lord.

Verse 2

Lord God, Heavenly King,
God Almighty Father,
We praise you, we bless you.
Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Only Son of the Father,
Lord God, O Lamb of God.

Verse 3

Have mercy on us, Lord,
You who take away our sins,
The sins of all mankind.
Have mercy on us, Lord,
You who take away sins.
Receive our prayer, Lord.

Verse 4

Have mercy on us, Lord,
You who sit at the right hand
Of the Father in heaven.
Have mercy on us, Lord,
You who sit at the right hand.
Have mercy on us, Lord.

Verse 5

You alone, Lord Jesus,
With the Holy Spirit,
In the Father’s glory.
You alone are Holy,
You alone are Most High.

Amen! Amen!
