We Praise Thee, O God Nicetas of Remesiana

A hymn of praise and thanksgiving, recalling the birth of Jesus Christ, and the promise of eternal life.

This hymn, often known by its Latin title of ‘Te Deum’, is attributed to St Nicetas (?335-414), bishop of Remesiana, now Bela Palanka in the Pirot District of Serbia. Today it forms part of the litany. The translation given here comes from the English Book of Common Prayer (1662).
