Gotteslob ("Praise of God") is the title of the hymnbook authorized by the Catholic dioceses in Germany, Austria, South Tyrol, Luxembourg and Liège, Belgium.

It was developed over a period of 10 years by around 100 experts, who studied the use of hymns, conducting surveys and running tests in selected congregations.

Some songs were added, including Tersteegen's "Gott ist gegenwärtig", the penitential "Zeige uns, Herr, deine Allmacht und Güte", written in 1982 by Raymund Weber [de] to an older melody, the midsummer hymn "Das Jahr steht auf der Höhe", and "Herr, du bist mein Leben" (Lord, You are my life), a translation of a popular Italian 1977 "Symbolum" by Pierangelo Sequeri.

Hymns include "Den Herren will ich loben" and others by Maria Luise Thurmair.

"Ein Haus voll Glorie schauet" is a popular hymn for consecration of a church and its anniversaries; however, the version of "Ein Haus voll Glorie schauet" in Gotteslob is a modern song written for the 1975 edition of Gotteslob that differs dramatically from the traditional hymn by the same name from 1875.
