Gloria - Mass of Creation

I love the arrangement of the Gloria from this setting. The harmonies are so well written that it indeed takes the mass to an altogether different level. This Gloria takes a bit of effort to master, in terms of getting each of the voices right. However, the end result is worth every bit of effort and is very rewarding. We've sung it a quite a few times now and it has slowly but surely turned into one of our favourites. Give it a listen soon, you may just add it to your list of favourites too!


Here are the lyrics :

Gloria - Revised Mass of Creation 

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth peace to people of good will. 

 1. 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.

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth peace to people of good will. 

2. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, 

Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, 

You take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us; 

You take away the sin of the world, receive our prayer; 

You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. 

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth peace to people of good will. 

3. 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 

Glory to God in the highest

And on earth peace to people of good will.
