"'" (Let us praise, joyfully praise) is a Christian hymn in German. It was written by Georg Thurmair in 1948, then beginning "'Lat uns loben, Brder, loben'" (Let us praise, brothers, praise). The melody was composed by Erhard Quark the same year. It is part of the Catholic hymnal 'Gotteslob' (2013) and other hymnals.
History
Georg Thurmair wrote the song "" in 1948. It was set to music the same year by Erhard Quark, revised in 1971. It was included in the common Catholic hymnal in German, 'Gotteslob' in 1975, as GL 84. The word "Brder" in the first line was understood as meaning only men which seemed unacceptable in the 1990. In copies of the 'Gotteslob', a new version was glued into the books, using the adverb "freudig" (joyfully) instead of "Brder", because the neutral word "Geschwister" (siblings) would not match the metre. With this wording, it became part of the 2013 edition of 'Gotteslob' as GL 489, in the section 'Leben in der Kirche - Taufe' (life in the church baptism. It is part of other hymnals and songbooks.
