Following (except at Masses for the dead; during Advent and Lent; and on ferias save those in Paschaltide) the celebrant begins the Gloria, called the Greater Doxology in Eastern Catholic and Orthodox liturgies.
Celebrant. Gloria in excelsis Deo,
All: et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.Laudamus te. Benedicimus te. Adoramus te. Glorificamos te. Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam.
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens.
Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris. Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis. Quoniam tu solus Sanctus. Tu solus Dominus. Tu solus Altissimus, Jesu Christe.
Cum Sancto Spiritu, ✠ in gloria Dei Patris. Amen.
Celebrant. Glory to God in the highest,
All: and on earth peace to men of good will. We praise you. We bless you. We adore you. We glorify you. We give thanks to you for your great glory.
Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father almighty.
Lord, the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father. You who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. You who take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. You who sit at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you only are holy. You only are the Lord. You only, Jesus Christ, are most high.
With the Holy Spirit, ✠ in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
