Mass Of Light - Gloria


A vibrant, majestic Gloria based on the New Roman Missal.  The arrangement is by David Haas and is a part of the settings for the "Mass Of Light". Stay tuned for an entire series of posts for Mass Settings based on the New Roman Missal!
The tune is quite repetitive, so  I'd classify it as a must learn,easy-to-pick-up Gloria. I am going to attempt teaching the kids from the children's choir the same!
The tune is rich and has a truly majestic aura about it. It would be a good choice for nuptial masses. The tune being easy, it wouldn't take much effort for the congregation to join in at the verses.

Here are the lyrics : 

Gloria - Mass of Light 

Glory to God in the highest,  glory to God
And on earth peace to people, to people of good will. (2)

 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,  glory to God
And on earth peace to people, to people of good will. 

 Lord Jesus Christ, Only Be-g-ot-ten 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,  glory to God
And on earth peace to people, to people of good will. 

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,  glory to God
And on earth peace to people, to people of good will.
