The 1975 edition ofGotteslob (God's Praise) was the first combinedprayerbook andhymnbook authorised by the bishops of all German-speakingRoman Catholics in Germany and Austria. It contains texts and songs for liturgy, communal prayer and private prayer, divided into a section which is common for all, and an appendix for the local songs in adiocese.

Forerunners for a common hymnal were the hymnalCantate!, published byHeinrich Bone in 1847 and used by multiple diocese of German-speaking countries, andKirchenlied, a 1938 hymnal that included songs by Protestant hymnwriters.

Maria Luise Thurmair was a member of the commission preparing the edition, and also contributed several songs to the book. Her "Den Herren will ich loben", based on theMagnificat and many other liturgical hymns appeared there first.Friedrich Dörr was a member of the commission who contributed mostly his translations of Latin hymns, such as "Komm, Heilger Geist, der Leben schafft", forVeni Creator Spiritus. He wrote the Advent song "Kündet allen in der Not" based onIsaiah 35.

From theFirst Sunday of Advent in 2013 until July 2014 it was gradually phased out and replaced by the presentGotteslob.
