The lyrics for Jewel's (Children's) song "Gloria" is a Latin-inspired hymn that is meant to praise and worship God. "Gloria in excelsis deo" means "Glory to God in the highest." This is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the main purpose of the hymn - to give glory and honor to God. "Laudamus te" means "We praise you," and is also repeated several times.
"Kyrie eleison" means "Lord have mercy," and "Agnus dei" means "Lamb of God." These phrases are used as supplication to God, acknowledging that we are in need of mercy and that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. In the second half of the hymn, the lyrics shift to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. "Crucifixus et resurrexit" means "Crucified and rose again." The song ends with a plea for peace - "Dona nobis pacem" means "Grant us peace."
Overall, the hymn is a beautiful expression of worship to God, acknowledging his power, mercy, and sacrifice.
