Let Glory Be to God on High

lyricist: From the Latin
Composer: John Dykes, 1861

Let glo­ry be to God on high:

Peace be on earth as in the sky;

Good will to men! We bow the knee

We praise

we bless

we wor­ship Thee;

We give Thee thanks

Thy name we sing

Almighty Fa­ther! Heav’n­ly King!

O Lord

the sole be­got­ten Son

Who bore the crimes which we had done;

Son of the Fa­ther

who wast slain

To take away the sins of men;

O Lamb of God

whose blood was spilt

For all the world

and all its guilt—

Have mer­cy on us

through Thy blood;

Receive our pray­er

O Lamb of God!

For Thou art ho­ly; Thou alone

At God’s right hand

up­on His throne

In all His glo­ry

art ad­ored

With Thee

O Ho­ly Ghost

one Lord.
