Canticle: Te Deum (Matins) - Te Deum 2015 Grand Rapids, Michigan

Rejoice in God's gift of hymnody, taken from this year's Higher Things youth conference, Te Deum 2015, recorded in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Canticle: Te Deum - We Praise You, O God (Matins)

[janetbristol]

There is nothing like a group of Lutherans singing!!! It is wonderful.

Our church recently brought back the Matins service and I couldn't be happier about it. Our pastor is making strides fixing a wayward congregation.

[prkHBS]

This is maybe the most beautiful piece of the traditional LCMS liturgy.

[dr.kenschmidt]

Remember when we used to physically attend church, hear a sermon, pray together, worship and and sing? Yeah, me, too. I sure miss those days.

[JudiCaroler]

I LOVE this piece with its lyrics and variety of tonality and melody.
Greetings from Hope Lutheran Missouri Synod, Glendora, CA

Excellent. The organist does it right.

Reminds me of my childhood when we used The Lutheran Hymnal 1941 edition. A good combination of Anglican Chant melodies for The Te Deum

[RobertEWaters]

Used to look forward to Tuesday and Matins in chapel at Luther South in Chicago so I could sing this.

[ByzantineCalvinist]

I would love to be there singing with this gathering. They do a great job of praising the Lord.

How wonderful to hear this sung! Beautiful hymn of praise!

1 We praise you, O God; we acknowledge you to be the Lord.
All the earth now worships you, the Father everlasting.
To you all angels cry aloud, the heav'ns and all the pow'rs therein.
To you cherubim and seraphim continually do cry:

2 Holy, holy holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
heav'n and earth are full of the majesty of your glory.
The glorious company of the apostles praise you.
The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise you.

3 The noble army of martyrs praise you.
The holy Church throughout all the world does acknowledge you:
The Father of an infinite majesty; your adorable, true, and only Son;
also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.

4 You are the King of glory, O Christ;
you are the everlasting Son of the Father.

5 When you took upon yourself to deliver man,
you humbled yourself to be born of a virgin.
When you had overcome the sharpness of death,
you opened the kingdom of heav'n to all believers.

6 You sit at the right hand of God
in the glory of the Father.
We believe that you will come to be our judge.

7 We therefore pray you to help your servants,
whom you have redeemed with your precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with your saints
in glory everlasting.

8 O Lord, save your people and bless your heritage.
Govern them and lift them up forever.

9 Day by day we magnify you;
And we worship your name, forever and ever.

10 Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us.

11 O Lord, let your mercy be upon us, as our trust is in you.
O Lord, in you have I trusted; let me never be confounded.

I have been using the Matins service from the CPH Treasury of Daily Prayer and was/am having difficulty singing this alone so this video will be very helpful for my daily devotions. I hope to get it memorized as well as I have memorized the Venite. Then onward to the Magnificat. 😀

I have been an Anglican for a long time and have never sung this. Mattins has virtually disappeared parish worship although Evening Prayer is still found but only in larger churches. It is a sad fact that evening worship has declined along with churches numbers over the past 20 years or so.

[willoooooooob]

I would love to go to this church. They participate so well inspiring to see so many people worshiping together !!

[tomjohnson]

Enjoyed the playing of the organ, peace

[randallplumb]

So powerful and majestic .... thank you!

[JayJay-luet]

Thank you so much for sharing this. A timeless hymn, I wish my church would sing this once in a while. Most ppl in my county would not know how to read chant tho, so it would probably bomb, sadly.

[philliphamilton]

I grew up with this. Desperate to know the musical setting. Please post.

[helenquist]

Awesome. Lovely memories from my choir days

[mgoodwi]

The tune of this is one by Henry Lawes. Does it have a name? I can't find an organ only version here on youtube.
