Te Laudamus

Available Spring 2026

Our Lord speaks and we listen. His Word bestows what it says. Faith that is born from what is heard acknowledges the gifts received with eager thankfulness and praise.

Te Laudamus is designed as a companion—a hymnal intended not to replace or duplicate, but to complement whatever is a congregation’s primary hymnal, providing worthy entries, treasures not found in recently published hymnals. As it has evolved, Te Laudamus has become a collection of historic and modern resources, with an emphasis on gems from the Reformation era. The assortment includes psalms, hymns, and liturgies deemed suitable for Lutheran worship today, which may be used with benefit in other denominations as well.

Te Laudamus is truly a treasure trove of historic Lutheran hymnody for the modern Christian. Page after page, the poetic heights and depths of some of the greatest minds of Lutheranism provide a feast for the soul that yearns to sing of the gifts God has prepared for His holy people. Didactic in nature, TL does not leave its reader wanting for further context and explanation, leading with the full psalter and concluding with settings for worship, talcing care to provide explanatory notes and historical background where necessary. And yet it would be no surprise if the reader is first drawn in by the over fifty pieces of full color liturgical artwork printed within its pages. Indeed, this feast for our souls may very well begin by drawing in our eyes and our hands, then our tongues, our ears, our hearts, and our minds, heightening our senses for the great feast given us in the Divine Service. In this way, TL is a beautiful representation of the whole aim of the Gottesdienst: To point us to Jesus.
