The Gloria I

Gloria.
Let there be to thee glory and praise wide spread
Over all people, thanks and joy,
Might and mercies, and love of all the soul,
Peace of the faithful, and thine own majesty,
The world made beautiful. As thou canst sway
All earth's power and the air above,
Wind and clouds thou swayest all aright.
Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Thou art Father of consolations and guardian of life,
Life's leader, the swayer of light
Severed from sins, as [is] thy glorious Son
Through pure nature, king over all,
Strong, blessed, the inspirer of books.
The high consolation of the soul.
Sicut erat in principio.
As was in the beginning the lord of mankind
Of all the world brightness and comfort
Pure and wise: Thou revealedst that
When thou, eternal God, alone wroughtest
Through thy holy might, heavens and earth,
Countries and air above and all things.
Thou settest on earth very many kindreds,
And severest them afterwards abroad.
Thou formedst, eternal God, all creatures
In six days: on the seventh thou didst rest,
Then was complete thy fair work,
And thou thyself hallowedst Sunday,
And madest it glorious for a help to many;
That high day all will hold and observe
Who understand Christian customs,
Holy love of heart, and the commands of the Highest,
In the Lord's name the day is honoured.
Et nunc et semper.
And now ever thy true works
And thy great might is manifest to many,
As they make known abroad thy wisdom
They stand eternal over all the world,
God's handy work grows as thou didst command,
All praise thee, the holy choruses
With pure voice, and Christian books,
All the earth; and we men say
Here on earth, "Be praise and thanks to God
Eternal joy, and thine own majesty."
Et in secula seculorum.
And for ever and ever he dwells and reigns
King in glory, his chosen ones
In high majesty, holy spirits,
Glorious angels, and mighty powers,
Faithful peace, thankfulness of souls,
Kindness of heart. There is the highest
Love of holiness. The heavens are
Through thine eternal word everywhere full:
So is thy might over the earth
Clear and visible as thou thyself wroughtest them,
Amen.
We all say the Amen. Amen.
Through pure nature thou art rightly king,
Pure and wise, thou revealedst that
When thou, mighty God, createdst man,
And into him didst put breath and soul,
Gavest him speech and wisdom, and nature of increase,
Thou revealedst to him thy knowledge. Such is Christ's might.
