"Herr Gott, dich loben wir" (Lord God, we praise you) is a Lutheran hymn, which Martin Luther wrote in 1529 as a translation and partial paraphrase of the Latin Te Deum.

Luther translated and slightly expanded the Latin text of the Te Deum,[2] which is also known as the Ambrosian Hymn, but is currently credited to Nicetas of Remesiana, a bishop of the 4th century.

Luther's version was first published in Joseph Klug's Geistliche Lieder (Spiritual Songs) in Wittenberg in 1529.

[5] Johann Sebastian Bach used parts of the text and melody in cantatas for New Year's Day, Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, BWV 190, and Herr Gott, dich loben wir, BWV 16.

[5] Felix Mendelssohn composed a setting Herr Gott, dich loben wir (Te Deum) for solo voices, double chorus, four trombones, strings, and organ, first performed at the Berlin Cathedral on 6 August 1843, to mark "the millennium of the founding of the German Reich".
