Some say the 41 hymnal had too many Methodist hymns in it. OK take a few of them out but do not take away this beautiful liturgy. And now we don't get to sing much of it but only the Minister chants and they leave out parts of it. I don't like that. That liturgy of that old Hymnal was the best!
Me too. One night it just popped in my head and I had to look it up to remember all the words. It was the very first part of the liturgy that my mother taught me and I always waited for it so I could sing along
I am an old die hard Lutheran who still puts that Old 41 first. Most beautiful liturgy and the men who put that together then were more independent thinkers of Luther and what was really good compared to todays bunch that just made it worse. They don’t know good music!
My favorite Biblical canticle... I love the story of Simeon, must have been amazing to literally hold God's word fulfilled.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing......
I cherish this as a once small child and now an adult. What a wonderful moment to have held the Christ child.
I still love and prefer the liturgy from 1941/3 The Lutheran Hymnal. I wish I could find a recording I can put on my computer.
