The title of a celebrated Latin hymn of praise, usually ascribed to St. Ambrose and St. Augustine, and well known through the translation in the Book of Common Prayer, commencing, "We praise thee, O God." It is sung on particular occasions, as on the news of victories, and on high festival days in Roman Catholic and also in some Protestant churches. In the Protestant Episcopal Church Te Deum is sung in the morning service between the two lessons. "Te Deum was sung at St. Paul's after the victory."-Bacon.
