Creeds and Glorias

Gloria

Tune: Battle Hymn

We give the Father glory and we pray for peace on earth
As we praise the Lord and sing to heaven our highest songs of worth.
We worship God and give him thanks who brings all things to birth:
The Father’s love gives life.
Glory, glory, alleluia!
Glory, glory, alleluia!
Glory, glory, alleluia!
The Father’s love gives life.

O Jesus Christ, the only Son, you take away our sin.
You save the world, O Lamb of God, the final victory win.
Receive our prayer, O Holy One, and give us peace within:
God’s love in Christ has shone.
Glory, glory, alleluia!
Glory, glory, alleluia!
Glory, glory, alleluia!
God’s love in Christ has shone.

For you, O Christ, are seated at the right of God most high,
With the Holy Spirit, you are one, as angels sing and cry.
Their songs of praise take up our hymn and to God’s throne they fly:
God’s Spirit leads us on.
Glory, glory, alleluia!
Glory, glory, alleluia!
Glory, glory, alleluia!
God’s Spirit leads us on.
