Gloria Glory to God in the highest and on earth Peace to His 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, Oh 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 are Lord of the Holy One You are Lord of the most high, Jesus Christ With the Holy Spirit in the glory of God, the Father.

Amen.

The Lamb Little Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Gave thee life, and bid thee feed By the stream and o’er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, woolly, bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice?

Little Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, who made thee?

Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee, Little Lamb, I’ll tell thee: He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb.

He is meek, and he is mild; He became a little child.

I, a child, and thou a lamb, We are called by his name.

Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Little Lamb, God bless thee!

(William Blake)

Cantique de Jean Racine Word, equal to the Most High, our only hope, Eternal day of the earth and the heavens, We break the silence of the peaceful night.

Divine Savior, cast your eyes upon us!

Spread upon us the fire of your powerful grace, That all hell might flee at the sound of your voice; Dispel the languishing soul's torpor Which has caused it to forget your laws!

Oh Christ, show favor to this faithful people Now gathered to bless you.

Receive the songs it offers to your immortal glory, And may it return filled with your gifts!
