"Lasst uns Gott, dem Herrn, lobsingen" (Let us sing praises to God, the Lord) is a Christian hymn in German with text by Petronia Steiner written in 1944 to a melody that Johann Georg Ebeling created in 1666 for a hymn by Paul Gerhardt.
[1] She wrote "Lasst uns Gott, dem Herrn, lobsingen" in 1944, to a melody that Johann Georg Ebeling composed in 1666 for a hymn by Paul Gerhardt, "Warum sollt ich mich denn grämen".
[3] The first stanza appeared in regional sections of the first common German Catholic hymnal Gotteslob in 1975, in the diocese of Limburg as GL 849.
It is part of a 2020 songbook for young Christians by the Diocese of Freiburg, Neue Lieder für Gott und die Welt (New songs for God and the world).
[5] The melody by Ebeling was written for Paul Gerhardt's song, which has been set to music often, including by Johann Sebastian Bach.
