Glory be to the Father is a ‘minor doxology’ while the ‘greater doxology’ is the “Glory To God in the Highest” (Gloria in excelsis Deo). A doxology is a short hymn that is usually added to the end of hymns, psalms, and canticles that contains praises to God during Christian worship.
In the Roman Catholic Church Rite, Gloria Patri is normally chanted at the end of hymns, psalms, and canticles and in the responsories during the Liturgy of the Hours. It is also said at the end of each decade while praying the rosary.
