Te Deum
Te Deum. A Latin hymn to the Father and the Son, in rhythmical prose. Verses 22 ff. are petitions, appended to the original at an early date. The ascription of the hymn to Sts Ambrose and Augustine is rejected by modern scholars. Its use in the Office is mentioned in the Rule of St Benedict. The BCP includes in Mattins the English translation ‘We praise thee, O God’. Modern Anglican liturgies retain its use at Morning Prayer, at least on some occasions, often without the concluding verses, and the central section figures in some burial services.

Te Deum
Te Deum. A Latin hymn to the Father and the Son, in rhythmical prose, beginning Te Deum laudamus (‘We praise thee, O God’). According to tradition, it was a spontaneous composition of Ambrose and Augustine, who sang it antiphonally on the occasion of the baptism of Augustine by Ambrose. In fact, it is evidently a composition of at least three parts, only loosely connected.
