Gloria in Excelsis Deo is a hymn of Christian liturgy, sung during Mass and other religious celebrations. Known also as the Angelic Hymn, the prayer echoes the words of the Angels announcing to the shepherds the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Gloria is a song of praise to the Holy Trinity: it mentions God the Father, His Only Son, and the Holy Spirit. This Latin prayer was translated from its original Greek version.
“Gloria in excelsis Deo
Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis
Laudamus Te
Benedicimus Te
Adoramus Te
Glorificamus Te
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam
Domine Deus Rex caelestis,
Deus Pater omnipotens
Domine Fili unigenite Jesu Christe
Domine Deus Agnus Dei Filius Patris
Qui tollis peccata mundi
miserere nobis
Qui tollis peccata mundi
suscipe deprecationem nostram
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris
miserere nobis
Quoniam Tu solus Sanctus
Tu solus Dominus
Tu solus altissimus Jesu Christe
cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris
Amen.”
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of goodwill.
We praise you, we bless you,
we adore you, we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ,
Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.”
