O God, we praise you: as Lord we acclaim you. We praise you, O God; we acclaim you as Lord; All creation worships you, the Father everlasting. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, The cherubim and seraphim sing in endless praise: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Te Deum. The glorious company of apostles praise you. The noble fellowship of prophets praise you. The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you. Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all praise, And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide. You, Christ, are king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father. When you took our flesh to set us free, You humbly chose the Virgin’s womb. You overcame the sting of death And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God’s right hand in glory. We believe that you will come to be our judge. Come then, Lord, and help your people, Bought with the price of your own blood, And bring us with your saints to glory everlasting. Amen.

Te Deum

Words by Traditional Latin canticle, anonymous; English liturgical translation/adaptation from Anglican prayer-book traditionMusic by Wendell GlickWritten

Te Deum laudamus: te Dominum confitemur.
O God, we praise you: as Lord we acclaim you.

We praise you, O God; we acclaim you as Lord;
All creation worships you, the Father everlasting.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
The cherubim and seraphim sing in endless praise:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Te Deum.

The glorious company of apostles praise you.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you.
Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all praise,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.

When you took our flesh to set us free,
You humbly chose the Virgin’s womb.
You overcame the sting of death
And opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God’s right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come to be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Bought with the price of your own blood,
And bring us with your saints to glory everlasting. Amen.

Story Behind the Song

The Te Deum laudamus is one of the great ancient hymns of the Western church, used especially in the Daily Office at Matins or Morning Prayer and on festal occasions. Medieval legend attributed it to Ambrose and Augustine at Augustine’s baptism, but modern scholarship generally treats it as anonymous, possibly connected with Nicetas of Remesiana. Wendell Glick’s choral setting uses a modern English prayer-book form of the ancient canticle.
