"Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet" is a Lutheran hymn of 1524 with words written by Martin Luther who used an older first stanza and melody. It is a song of thanks after communion. Luther's version in three stanzas was printed in the Erfurt Enchiridion of 1524 and in Johann Walter's choral hymnal Eyn geystlich Gesangk Buchleyn the same year. Today, the song appears in German hymnals, including both the Protestant Evangelisches Gesangbuch, and in a different version in the Catholic Gotteslob.

Kirchenlied is a German Catholic hymnal published in 1938. It was a collection of 140 old and new songs, including hymns by Protestant authors. It was the seed for a common Catholic hymnal which was realised decades later, in the Gotteslob (1975).
![Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Allein-Gott-Spangenberg-1545.png/199px-Allein-Gott-Spangenberg-1545.png)
"Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr" is an early Lutheran hymn, with text and melody attributed to Nikolaus Decius. With the reformers intending church service in German, it was intended as a German version of the Gloria part of the Latin mass, used in almost every service. Decius wrote three stanzas, probably in 1523, while a fourth was added, probably by Joachim Slüter.

"Weißt du, wie viel Sternlein stehen" is a German lullaby and popular evening song. The lyrics were written by the Protestant pastor and poet Wilhelm Hey (1789–1854), who published them first in 1837. The melody is recorded back to 1818. A poetic English translation of the first and third verse is by Henry William Dulcken (1832–1894).
"Nun liebe Seel, nun ist es Zeit", alternatively written "Nun, liebe Seel, nun ist es Zeit", is a Lutheran hymn for Epiphany, in five stanzas of six lines each, by Georg Weissel. It was first printed in 1642, set as a motet by Johannes Eccard. A version with an additional stanza is attributed to Johann Christoph Arnschwanger.
"Ein Danklied sei dem Herrn" is a Christian hymn with German text written by Guido Maria Dreves in 1886, and a melody written by Josef Venantius von Wöß in 1928. It is a song of thanks and praise of God who protects the persons he created. The song appeared as part of the Catholic Gotteslob.
