They play this hymn on the bells of St. Francis, across the street from me, and finally I know what it’s called–Holy God We Praise Thy Name. I don’t know who the singers are, so I’m not able to give them the credit they deserve.

Requested by Phoebe, Holy God, We Praise Thy Name. I don’t know who’s singing it, but I do know the bells of St. Francis, across the street from us, play it fairly often.
And now we’ve got to get ready for the pulmonologist, so please pray for us, that his word to us will be a good one.
“TheWhiteRabbit” thought we might enjoy this hymn, which they sang at his church this Sunday: Holy God, We Praise Thy Name. This one goes all the way back to the 4th century, when it was sung in Latin as Te Deum. German lyrics came only in the 1700s, and English later, so now it’s sung in churches the world over.
I can’t think of any older hymns than this, still being sung. Can you?
