About this prayer
A short hymn of praise to the Trinity, known as the lesser doxology. Its first line goes back to the early Church; the second, 'as it was in the beginning', was in use in the West by the sixth century. It closes each psalm in the daily office of many traditions and each decade of the Rosary.
