Nostalgia

These are the hymns I have sung since childhood, and it is comforting to have them at hand.

Good, but not as good as TLH

This is an ok Hymnal for use at home and church. But it use ofmodern language weakens it much in my option. Some good thingsabout it is that is has both a 1 and 3 year lectionary. It hasthe text of Luther s Small catacism (but any good LCMSer shouldstill have their copy, maybe Luther s large catacism would havebeen a better one to add). They try to hard to have LW used athome, unlike TLH (The Lutheran Hymnal 1941) they break theservice up to much, in TLH you just drop the last part of vespersand matins. LW has to many prayer services that could bereasonably used in a home setting. But in its divine it doeshave a simple form for Private confession and absolution, whichTLH sadly lacks. Also it has to many or s this leaves the userhaving to jump around a lot.Another problem is the inclusion of Amazing Grace in the hymnsection, Amazing Grace is a nice song, but it is no hymn, itdoes not mention Christ in it at all.LW is a very good resource, but I would suggest TLH for daily usein ones prays life. But again in its defense they did add some very good hymns.

An Excellant Hymnal for Lutheran Worship

This is an excellent hymnal which sets up the order of service for everything from early morning to prayer late at night. Matins and Vespers are two of the best services. The prayers outlined in this hymnal include prayers for everyone in the world, from your friends and family to the leaders in the church and nation. One of the best things about the hymnal is that all of the words in the hymnal are taken from the inerrant and inspired by God. This is truely the best hymnal ever written. The Commission of Worship of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod truely accomplished alot with the help of God. Please prayerfully consider this hymnal for your collection, I enjoy it and I thank God for helping to add it to my library. Take care and God Bless.

A Fine and Useful Hymnal

This hymnal has a fantastic collection of useful hymns, services and prayers for both public worship and personal or family devotion. The Liturgies are complete and easily learned, and yet provide for great variety. There are possibly too many options, however, which makes it more difficult to get through the first time. The Psalms (NIV translation) are set to simple chants that even children can easily learn and use. The hymns are some of the best in Christianity, although some of the translations are inferior to older translations. I highly recommend this hymnal for use for either congregational or family use.
