I know that such documents exist, I have read them before. I just can’t remember where they are. In fact, there was even a first or second century church foundation recently found this summer where the words said that jesus is god on the foundation.

If you know where any of the eariliest liturgy are please post them here.

thanks

You may want to search a website for the Church Fathers. I believe it was Justin Martyr’s first apology that contains a description of what we now call the mass. It was written around 155 AD. Not sure of references to Jesus as God, but it does talk about eating the body and blood of the Lord.

For earlier references to Jesus as Almighty God, see Ignatius of Antioch. His writings date to around 107 AD. Again, not sure of references to liturgy in his writings, but there may be some.
 

The Divine Liturgy of James the Holy Apostle and Brother of the Lord

Prayer of the standing beside the altar:
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, the triune light of the Godhead, which is unity subsisting in trinity, divided, yet indivisible: for the Trinity is the one God Almighty, whose glory the heavens declare, and the earth His dominion, and the sea His might, and every sentient and intellectual creature at all times proclaims His majesty: for all glory becomes Him, and honour and might, greatness and magnificence, now and ever, and to all eternity. Amen.
