Glory be to God the highest by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
1. Glory be to God the highest, and on earth may peace prevail;Praise Creator, Love unbiased, may our praises grace entail.
2. Christ, the Word of God incarnate, Love in flesh, with flesh to dwell;by the Father high regarded, hear our prayer, and sin dispel.

About Glory be to God the highest
This SATB setting of Glory be to God the highest offers a powerful expression of praise suitable for liturgical occasions. The English text focuses on extolling God, Creator and Lord, and invoking peace on earth. It then moves to a prayer for Christ, the incarnate Word, to hear our prayer and dispel sin, before concluding with a trinitarian acclamation of God the Father, Christ the Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit, reigning eternally. The music provides a fitting setting for these profound theological statements, bringing rich harmony to the sacred words.
