The "Te Deum": An Ancient Hymn for Today
Manage episode 407339942 series 3559501
In this episode, Fr Jonathan and Dr Matthew talk about the ancient hymn, “Te Deum Laudamus,” – “We Praise Thee, O God” – the only canticle from Morning and Evening Prayer that is not taken out of Scripture. We look a bit at its history and origins and then at its devotional use for us today. Fr Jonathan even sings it! We also, unplanned, both had the 1918 BCP at hand for this episode, not 1962.
