All Glory Be to God on High
1. All glory be to God on high,
And peace on earth from heaven,
And God's good will unfailingly
Be to all people given.
We bless, we worship You, we raise
For Your great glory thanks and praise,
O God, Almighty Father.
2. O Lamb of God, Lord Jesus Christ,
Whom God the Father gave us,
Who for the world was sacrificed
Upon the cross to save us;
And as You sit at God's right hand
And we for judgment there must stand,
Have mercy, Lord, upon us.
3. You only are the Holy One,
Who came for our salvation,
And only You are God's true Son,
Who was before creation.
You only, Christ, as Lord we own
And with the Spirit, You alone
Share in the Father's glory.
