4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not as good as TLH, February 17, 2003

By	Michael P. Oconnor "Mike in Pittsburgh" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lutheran Worship (Paperback)

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

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellant Hymnal for Lutheran Worship, February 5, 2001

By	Michael R. Standfest (Mequon, Wisconsin (Concordia Univ. Wisconsin)) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars listing wrong, December 16, 2008

By	Stanley P. Miller (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lutheran Worship (Paperback)

The listing showed this book as being the leather bound smaller sized version. They corrected the leather bound part of the listing but this is still the full sized pew version, not the smaller personal version shown in the dimensions here.

If you want a standard bound, standard sized book this one is just what you want, nothing wrong with it.
