Gott sei gelobet und gebenedeiet (God be praised) is a Lutheran hymn of 1524 with words written by Martin Luther. Text and melody are based on a Leise for the Latin sequence Lauda Sion for Corpus Christi. Luther knew it in a version which first appeared at the end of the 14th century in a processional from the Franciscan monastery Miltenberg. Luther's hymn was printed in the Erfurt Enchiridion of 1524.
