Religion

The Angels Doxologie, Luke 2.14

by Richard Baxter 1615–1691

From Paraphrase on the Psalms of David in Metre (1692)

Religion

Glory be to the glorious God,
Whose [dwelling's] in the heavens high;
Let Peace abound on earth below,
To men [Divine] benignity.

Or,
Glory be to our glorious God,
Whose [dwelling's] in the highest heaven;
Let Peace come down on earth below,
[Love and] good will to men be given.

Or,
Glory to the Eternal God
In heav'n [which is] his glorious place;
Let Peace on earth make her abode,
Let men receive his [love and] grace.
