"Wir weihn der Erde Gaben" (We dedicate the gifts of the earth) is a Christian offertory hymn with text by Petronia Steiner to the melody of the 1529 "Lob Gott getrost mit Singen".
The text "Wir weihn der Erde Gaben" was written by Petronia Steiner in 1945,[1][2][3] for the offertory during mass.
Revised in 1993, it was retained for the second edition of the hymnal in 2013 as GL 187,[5] in the section "Gesänge zur Gabenbereitung" (Chants for offertory).
[6] It was used for the Bohemian Brethren's "Lob Gott getrost mit Singen", a loose paraphrase of the Latin Te Deum.
[9] A version with chorale prelude and choral setting was written by Carsten Klump for an ecumenical collection of hymns from the Protestant and Catholic hymnals, Ökumenisches Orgelbuch, working for both "Lob Gott getrost mit Singen" and "Wir weihn der Erde Gaben".
