There have been so many advances in technology and wonderful songs and hymns that have been written over those 30 years, that it’s a huge blessing to be able to make use of them.
Change is never easy, especially for Lutherans! At the same time, we’ve been blessed by our current hymnal for the last 30 years. Through rites and psalms and hymns packed with God’s Word, God speaks to us in Christian Worship 2021.Ī new hymnal means change. It’s meant for the average Christian to be able to use on a daily basis to be able to meet their Savior where he may be found: in his Word. This hymnal is not meant for the elite musician. Yes, there are new things in Christian Worship 2021, but the overwhelming majority of the book is familiar to our experience.
In that vein, Christian Worship 2021 sought to honor the experience of the church while at the same time being accessible to today’s culture and aiding the mission of the church today. This hymnal will be a rich resource for both public worship and private devotion.
Christian Worship 2021 accomplishes this goal. The hymnal needs to communicate clearly what God has done. Worship is primarily God serving us with his Word and Sacraments. Additionally, all of the elements of the hymnal needed to be in line with Scripture. Christ is the center of everything we believe, everything we teach, and so it only makes sense that Christ is the center of our hymnal, our worship resource. In other words, what did the 13 committees and over 100 volunteers working on this project have as their goal as they assembled Christian Worship 2021? What you will be pleased to find is that first and foremost, Christ is at the center. However, before they arrive and before we start using them, it might benefit us to understand how this new hymnal was put together. We’ll be able to use them soon, I promise.
“Patience is a virtue,” my dad used to tell me. “I wish it would just get here already!” Believe me, I would love nothing more than to have the hymnals here and be able to start using them. Perhaps you’re tired of hearing about the new hymnal that’s coming. Below is a list of hymns found in TLH that are still under copyright.I’ve been banging the drum for more than 2 years. However, not all hymns contained in TLH are still under copyright protection. TLH is under copyright protection until the year 2036.
