Editing Gloria in excelsis Deo (section)

=== Alexandrine Rite ===
In the [[Alexandrine Rite]] (used by the [[Coptic Orthodox Church]] and some other [[Oriental Orthodox Churches]]), the Gloria is a common congregational prayer, sometime referred to as the "Praise of the Angels". It is recited collectively by the congregation during the Morning Raising of Incense, as well as at the Matins prayer of the [[Agpeya]] (the Alexandrian Canonical [[Book of hours|Book of the Hours]]).<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |url=https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/music/coptic/200155823/200155823.pdf |title=The Divine Liturgies of Saints Basil, Gregory, and Cyril |publisher=St. Mary & St. George Coptic Orthodox Church |year=2001 |location=Tallahassee, Florida, USA |pages=29;210}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://ukmidcopts.org/kotob/Agpia.pdf |title=AGPIA |publisher=Coptic Orthodox Publication and Translation |year=2000 |location=Sydney, Australia |pages=24}}</ref> The first verse of the hymn is also recited at the dismissal of the Divine Liturgy before the chanting of the "Concluding Canon".<ref name=":0" />
