Francis Poulenc's Gloria?

Does any one have the lyrics to all of Gloria? I'll get the sheet music in a week, but until then i want to practice any way because i have the notes and the music. it's really beautiful

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Poulenc uses the words of the Gloria in excelsis deo, which is part of the Latin Mass, over 1500 years old.
And you're right. His music is fantastic!

Here are the words in full, with a translation.
