NOTES
TRADITIONAL
The opening hymn is a paraphrase of a text used in worship from the 4th century. It is known by its Latin name, Te Deum Laudamus (We Praise You O God). In verse one, the sovereign rule of God over all in heaven and on earth is proclaimed. Verse two focuses on the adoration from the angelic beings, referring to the thrice holy phrases from Isaiah’s vision and from the book of Revelation. Verse three sings of those who have died, who upheld the faith of the Church through the ages. The final verse moves us to the present as we add our voices to those singing in heaven in praise of our Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Hymn No.3, God, We Praise You!, is a contemporary setting of this same Te Deum text.) Sometimes we are tempted to think of a song in worship as simply that, similar to singing along with the radio in the car. A hymn engages the heart, the mind, and the voice in conscious participation with the community of the Church through the ages, and those in heaven in offering active worship to God. Don’t ever be lulled into thinking we are just singing a song in church. Sing your faith. Sing your heart. Sing to God! It’s not about listening to others sing. The hymn is not for your benefit. Add your voice to the praises headed heavenward. - Dr. Dan Sharp
