Praise to God (1975)
God's praise is the title of the first common prayer and hymn book for all German-speaking Roman Catholic dioceses with the exception of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The book, published in 1975, contains texts and songs for the liturgy and for the prayer of the faithful alone or in community. From the 1st Advent 2013 to July 2014 it was gradually replaced by a new prayer and hymn book of the Catholic dioceses of Germany, Austria and South Tyrol, which also bears the name Praise of God .
Origin and development
Efforts for a unified hymn book in the 19th and 20th centuries
At the end of the 19th century there was already a discussion in Germany about a general German church hymn book, initiated by Bernhard Schäfer, an Old Testament scholar from Münster . Concerns were expressed because of the fear that church chanting would suffer if such a book were to introduce new melodies to well-known hymns in many dioceses. The Cecilia Association instead advocated first the development of an inventory unit songs . Such a list with 23 songs was published by the Fulda Bishops' Conference on August 23, 1916. However, because of the First World War , it was not possible to introduce this list in the German dioceses.
The song book Kirchenlied , which was published privately in 1938 and was widely distributed in several editions with well over a million copies , gained a certain importance as a supra-diocesan sacred songbook .
After the Second World War , the need arose in many dioceses to create new prayer and hymn books because the existing ones were out of print, worn out or textually outdated. In addition, the influx of refugees and economic internal migration within Germany brought people together in the communities who had little in common with Christian songs.
Under the direction of Trier's Bishop Franz Rudolf Bornewasser , a new list of 74 standard songs had been drawn up since 1942 and published by the German Bishops' Conference on June 29, 1947, and prescribed as “compulsory songs” for inclusion in the church hymn books of all German dioceses. A German-language standard text for the parts of the Holy Mass to be spoken together in the communal mass had been available since 1928 and was incorporated into numerous “Volksmessbuch” and several diocesan prayer books; it remained the valid German standard text for the Ordo Missae and the canon of the German Mass until May 1971 .
The German Liturgical Commission began in 1946 with the preparatory work for a standard prayer book ; The Cologne priest Theodor Schnitzler was primarily responsible . The material was available until 1949; there was a delay because the Mass antiphonary was to be included, which was developed in parallel by Romano Guardini on the basis of the German Psalter . In the autumn of 1949, the brochure The uniform prayers and songs of the German dioceses appeared in Cologne and was sent to the German dioceses. In the meantime, however, numerous dioceses had already published their own diocesan prayer books, so that the opportunity to introduce a uniform book had passed.
Creation of the praise of God from 1963
_02.jpg)
The standardized hymn book for God's praise was not created until decades later as a result of the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council, in order to enable the faithful in every German-speaking region to actively participate in worship. In addition, a partial harmonization with the songs of the Protestant churches was sought in order to facilitate and enrich the organization of ecumenical services.
In August 1963, the Fulda Bishops' Conference decided to publish a uniform prayer and hymn book for all dioceses in Germany - that is, before the council passed its constitution on the sacred liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium - and set up two commissions for this. The commission for the prayer part was chaired by the Mainz bishop Hermann Volk , the commission for the song part by Limburg bishop Wilhelm Kempf . In order to include the dioceses located in the GDR, the commissions began to meet in Austria and Switzerland. A uniform book was planned with the possibility for the individual dioceses to add their own property. On March 29, 1966, the Austrian Bishops' Conference decided on the full cooperation of the Catholic Church in Austria. For Switzerland there were connections to the editors of the local church hymn book (KGB), but the Swiss dioceses were not involved in the project of a unified hymn book.
In 1969 the two commissions merged to form a “main commission” (ETUC commission) with the German auxiliary bishop Paul Nordhues ( Paderborn ) as first chairman and auxiliary bishop Eduard Macheiner ( Salzburg ) as second chairman; the Mainz pastor and chief editor of the magazine Gottesdienst , Josef Seuffert , became secretary of the commission. Factual questions were dealt with in sub-commissions on the subjects of songs and chants, psalmody , hourly prayer , word services and devotions, litanies , sacraments and sacramentals , penance and confession , individual prayers , children's prophecy and the structure of the standard hymn book. In terms of content and personnel, consideration had to be given to the simultaneous implementation of the liturgical reform decided by the council. During the development, the tension between uniformity and lively diversity as well as between old and new, between tradition and progress had to be clarified. The mass chants in German received special attention . One refrained from recording new sacred songs , as they emerged in large numbers during that time, in favor of their own song book Gesänge der Jugend or similar.
In order to promote an ecumenical orientation of the book, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Ökumenisches Liedgut (AÖL) was formed in 1969 , in which, in addition to the ETUC commission, the EKD , the Evangelical Reformed Churches in Switzerland , the Evangelical Free Churches and the Old Catholic Church in the German-speaking countries Countries participated with voting rights, the Evangelical Church in Austria as a guest. In 1973 the commission presented the ecumenical hymn book Common Hymns - Chants of German-speaking Christendom with 102 songs in an “ecumenical version”, which were adopted in large numbers in the praise of God.
In 1972 the first advance publication Gesänge zur Massfeier appeared , at the end of 1972 a first “rough manuscript” and in 1973 the “definitive manuscript”. At the end of September 1973, the Bishops' Conferences of Germany and Austria decided in principle to publish it as soon as possible; After suggestions from the bishops and individual open questions had been clarified by April 1974, God's praise appeared in March 1975.
A modernized version from 1996 was last used. In texts of the 20th century, the words "brothers" and "sons" were replaced by other formulations in the sense of an inclusive language .
New edition 2013
A new prayer and hymn book, also called Praise to God , has been developed by the German Liturgical Institute Trier since 2004 . Bishop Friedhelm Hofmann was the leading bishop in the ten-year development phase. After the first parts of the new hymn book were tried out by selected parishes, the German Bishops' Conference officially announced the publication of the book on December 10, 2012 for the first Advent in 2013, the beginning of the church year. The first edition was 3.6 million copies and was published by the Catholic Bible Institute in Stuttgart. Because of problems with the quality of the paper, the old praise of God was not replaced in the entire distribution area at the same time, but was delayed in some dioceses until autumn 2014.
expenditure
The Praise of God was issued by the bishops of Germany , Austria , the Diocese of Bozen-Brixen ( South Tyrol ) and the Diocese of Liège ( German-speaking Community of Belgium ). In the Archdiocese of Luxembourg it appeared under the name Magnificat . The rights to the common root part are represented by the Katholisches Bibelwerk Stuttgart . The German-speaking dioceses of Switzerland introduced their own Catholic hymnbook for German-speaking Switzerland in 1998 , as did the Archdiocese of Vaduz ( Liechtenstein ), founded in 1997 .
In addition to the common main part (songs and chants, devotions, prayers and catechetical explanations, confessional , numbered from 1 to 311, from 351 to 379 and from 401 to 791) all praise of God editions contained diocesan annexes, some regionally and some throughout the language area, lyrically or musically, but occasionally deviating or lower-class songs and other prayers (numbering usually starting with 800 or 801). The regional editions of God's praise were published by various publishers close to the Catholic Church, which are usually based in the respective diocese. A pure edition of the main part has not appeared.
Diocesan appendices and supplements
Germany
There was only one uniform appendix for the entire area of the Berlin Ordinarienkonferenz , i.e. the entire GDR. It applied to the Archdiocese of Berlin, the Diocese of Meißen and the administrations of Görlitz, Erfurt-Meiningen, Magdeburg and Schwerin.
The individual diocesan appendices are shown below:
Diocese of Aachen
The diocesan annex from 1975 (numbers 801 to 983) contains, in addition to other texts, a large number of hymns that are popular in the diocese. Among them is Urbs Aquensis (no. 966), which celebrates the imperial city and "Charlemagne's sanctuary".
In 1986 another appendix was created with the numbers 001 to 054, which mainly contains new sacred songs and is also in use in some other dioceses as the “Aachen appendix”.
Diocese of Augsburg
The praise of God of the Diocese of Augsburg has two appendices. The first includes numbers 801 to 894. This part was expanded as early as 1984.
The second, published in 1996, begins with number 901 and also takes into account newer songs.
In 2004 the Diocese of Augsburg commissioned a commission to create a third part. The work was postponed after the announcement of a fundamental renewal of the praise of God and finally stopped in 2007. The diocese of Augsburg holds the record of song numbers (1008).
Archdiocese of Bamberg
The Bamberg contribution now has two attachments. In addition to the appendix (No. 801-924) that appeared in 1975 together with the Praise of God, which addresses the Bamberg diocese patron with prayers and songs, offers a selection of songs for the annual cycle and also takes into account the refugees and displaced persons after the Second World War and their earlier regional hymns takes (e.g. Schubert Mass ), a second appendix was published in 1997 (No. 925–999), which also contains more modern songs.
Archdiocese of Berlin
The Berlin Praise for God has two appendices: that of the former episcopal office of Berlin (West) and that for Berlin (East) and the entire GDR. In order to erase the separation of the city of Berlin from the praise of God, a commission of experts in the Archdiocese of Berlin was commissioned to solve the problem. With the introduction of the new praise of God 2013/2014, this development has become obsolete.
Diocese of Dresden-Meißen
In addition to the joint appendix of the East German dioceses, a separate diocesan appendix was added to the praise of God in 2003. It includes the numbers 901 to 959.
The Sorbian communities of the diocese use the Vosadnik as a hymn book.
Diocese of Eichstätt
The diocesan portion begins with no.800.
Diocese of Erfurt
In addition to the joint appendix of the East German dioceses, a separate diocesan appendix was added to the praise of God in 2002. It includes numbers 901 to 957.
Diocese of Essen
The Essen diocesan annex includes the numbers 800 to 889. These include songs that are widespread within the diocese in different melody versions, since the diocese was only created in 1957 from parts of the neighboring dioceses of Cologne, Münster and Paderborn. These are printed without notes.
Unlike other dioceses of the Notes has not been extended over the years because it NGL parallel to Gotteslob another hymnal Hallelujah are, which has now been published in the fifth edition.
The cover of the Essen edition is embossed with the Altfrid sign, a further development from a signature handed down by St. Altfrid . Altfrid founded the Essen monastery in the 9th century .
Archdiocese of Freiburg and Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart
Both dioceses each have their own editions, but the appendix (numbers 801 to 955) is the same due to the traditionally close relationship between the two dioceses, as stated in the foreword to the Rottenburg-Stuttgart edition.
In 1985, the Archdiocese of Freiburg published a separate appendix to the praise of God for the Archdiocese of Freiburg with the song numbers 01 to 062.
Diocese of Fulda
The diocesan portion comprises the numbers 792 to 920. In addition to traditional chants of the diocese, it also contains devotions to the diocese saints Boniface and Elisabeth.
In 2004, in anticipation of a new praise to God, a booklet with the numbers 921 to 970 was published. In addition to traditional chants and the New Spiritual Song, it also contains songs that were previously unknown in the diocese.
Diocese of Görlitz
joint appendix of the Berlin Ordinarienkonferenz
2003 a separate appendix appeared
Archdiocese of Hamburg
The Hamburg edition was created in 1996, the second year after the Archdiocese of Hamburg was founded. Some gender-neutral formulations have been incorporated into the main section. The own part of the Archdiocese of Hamburg includes the numbers 801 to 949. Among other things, it contains information on the saints of the north German homeland as well as more modern songs and chants.
In the Harburg deanery (Hamburg south of the Elbe), which belonged to the Hildesheim diocese until 1994, there is an additional separate appendix containing songs from the Hildesheim diocesan appendix.
Diocese of Hildesheim
The Hildesheim diocesan annex contains many songs from the 19th century, especially for the veneration of the sacraments and Mary , which are not included in the trunk section, but are very popular. Silesian songs, which take into account the high proportion of Silesian expellees in the diocese, are another property of their own .
Archdiocese of Cologne
The diocesan part includes numbers 801 to 984. At the beginning, the antiphons and the reading order for Sundays and feasts are listed. The song part often contains sung German songs and a number of Latin chants, other choral masses , the Lauretan and All Saints litany in Latin as well as the Latin Compline . At the end there are some devotional texts and a prayer to the Cologne saints.
Diocese of Limburg
In the first edition of 1975, the "Limburg Diocesan Part" includes the numbers 801 to 963. Here, pieces from the "old" Limburg hymnbook were taken over, but mostly with new or changed, supposedly "more modern" texts. This concerns, for example, numbers 803 (“Let the trumpet sound”) or 811 (“ Up, Christians, sing festive songs ”). On the other hand there is New Spiritual Songs.
Since it turned out in practice that many songs popular with the parishes had not been taken into account at all, from 1996 a further appendix was added to the “Limburg Diocesan Share”. In terms of handling, this means that after the original table of contents another 52 pages with the numbers 964 to 999 and a separate table of contents have been added. Here you will find popular but originally omitted numbers such as "Lord, great God, we praise you" (964), "I must tremble, Lord before you" (966), "Sea star, I greet you!" (974), "Maria Maienkönigin" (972), "Wunderschön gächtige" (976) or the Christmas classic "O dujoyful" (978). Most of the numbers in the last-mentioned appendix are given without notes, which makes them difficult to use in practice. For this reason, but also because a number of popular chants from the old Limburg hymnbook are still missing, the practice has developed in many communities to create their own supplements.
Diocese of Magdeburg
Magdeburg only became an independent diocese after reunification. Previously, the praise of God with the uniform GDR appendix was valid. The new Magdeburger Gotteslob has its own appendix (from No. 900) with traditional and new songs.
Diocese of Mainz
The Mainz diocesan appendix includes devotions and songs on the Mainz saints, several complete series of masses and traditional songs that were not considered in the main part. Series of measurements are available for the church year as well as for marked times ( Advent and Lent ) and individual festivals. In many cases , these are new textings to existing song melodies from the main part.
Some time ago, an appendix on the diocesan share was published (so-called supplement to the praise of God ), the song numbers of which begin with 01. It contains many New Spiritual Songs , but also some traditional songs that were not considered in the rest of the Praise of God (for example Taizé chants , the song Daughter Zion, rejoice and the so-called Schubert Mass ), as well as additions to the Gregorian repertoire ( for example Marian antiphon ).
Archdiocese of Munich and Freising
The praise of God includes two diocesan parts. The first part from 1975 includes the numbers 801-924. The second part of the diocese from 2003 has the numbers 925–1000. In the foreword, Cardinal Friedrich Wetter particularly emphasizes the inclusion of new sacred songs.
Diocese of Münster
The own part of the diocese of Münster consists of the numbers 801 to 998. In the first part (no. 801 to 818) it contains short articles, a litany and daily prayers on the saints and blessed of the diocese (there is a lot of detail about Liudger, the first bishop of Münster reports), names pilgrimage sites of the diocese and contains a calendar listing the name days. This is followed by a new part of the song (nos. 818 to 900) added in 1996, which is divided into chants for the church year, songs of praise and thanksgiving, songs about trust and prayer, mass chants, songs about Jesus and Mary, saints, life from faith, church and People of God, Peace and Hope - Future - New World. This new part has also appeared as a separate booklet. In the old part (nos. 901 to 998), there are first songs about the church year, Jesus Christ, praise and thanks, Mary and saints, trust and prayer and the death of the Christian, then morning songs, mass chants and finally again songs from Mary.
Diocese of Osnabrück
The diocesan part "with prayer and songs ... that we do not want to do without" was expanded in 1996 and now includes numbers 801 to 974. After a part with prayers, especially about the "saints of our homeland", from no. 828 traditional and contemporary songs and chants, from No. 956 a series of refrains and calls. The regional part ends with No. 974 of the regional calendar with the Lords and Saints' Festivals for the Diocese of Osnabrück.
Archdiocese of Paderborn
The diocesan portion refers to the exact hundred-year-old tradition of the diocesan chant Sursum Corda and includes the numbers 800 to 943. It mainly contains traditional songs, a regional calendar and a few texts and prayers.
The part (918–943), which was added in 2003, contains new sacred songs.
Diocese of Passau
Due to the great importance of the Marian pilgrimage site Altötting, which is located in the Diocese of Passau, a relatively large number of Marian songs were included in the Passau diocesan edition.
Diocese of Regensburg
Diocesan Part I, published with the main part in 1975, includes the numbers 801 to 920. It contains a short history of the diocese and a biography of the diocese patron Wolfgang von Regensburg , a prayer section for regional witnesses of faith and over 100 songs popular in the diocese, including the so-called Schubert mass . In contrast to the stem part, Gregorian melodies are given in square notation .
Diocesan Part II, published in 1987, contains further, predominantly traditional church chants under numbers 921 to 981, including the so-called Haydn mass and a detailed prayer section.

This is followed by 31 pages on "Saints and Feasts of the Trier Church" and four prayers to the " Holy Eucharius , first Bishop of Trier".
Diocese of Würzburg
The separate part for the diocese of Würzburg from 1975 includes the numbers 800 to 916. Starting with four diocesan series of measurements, the subsequent songs are arranged analogously to the general part. Since 1994, the extended own section has also included the numbers 917 to 999. For this purpose, in addition to more modern songs, a larger number of songs from the former diocesan hymn book Ave Maria were recorded, which were not included in the praise of God in 1975, but remained very popular in the parishes . Cardinal Döpfner coined the saying: "Franconia - Marienland". For this reason, in the appendix to the Würzburg praise of God, special attention is paid to Marian songs, especially Franconian folk Marian songs.
Military ordinariate
The Catholic Military Bishop's Office publishes its own prayer and hymn book for the Catholic soldiers in the German Bundeswehr . This differs from the Praise of God in terms of format and design , but after its publication it became an extract from the Praise of God . The foreword of the 20th edition says: “The prayer and hymn book [...] reminds you of the praise of God [...]. That is on purpose. Even during their service time, soldiers should have the same prayers and songs available - in a handy form and therefore in a selection [...] ”.
The respective song numbers in the praise of God are added to each song number in brackets. After the part shared with praise of God , there is an appendix with personal property.

Archdiocese of Salzburg
In the Archdiocese of Salzburg, the praise of God was initially not well received because church music was shaped by a lot of popular and traditional songs. However, this changed with the influx of German and other tourists during the 1960s / 70s. Although church music typical of the region was played, with the increasing ethnic mix one could speak better of the praise of God. But it was not until 1989 that the praise of God was established as the only compulsory hymn book in the entire archdiocese. There are two appendices: an older appendix that was initiated by Archbishop Karl Berg , and another that was published by Archbishop Georg Eder in the mid-1990s . In order to introduce new sacred songs and other meditative texts, the Liturgical Commission of the Archdiocese of Salzburg decided in cooperation with the Archbishop's Church Music Office to publish a supplementary volume. After a period of collection, review and selection, it was published under the name of the Supplementary Volume on Praise of God for the Archdiocese of Salzburg . Archbishop Alois Kothgasser as well as the responsible liturgists and church musicians showed themselves to be largely responsible. This supplementary volume was published in 2005 and has been in a further edition since 2007/2008.
