Settings
At Emmanuel, we use resources from several hymnals for our worship services and hymn selections:
Lutheran Book of Worship
Published in 1978, the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW) has been the primary worship resource for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Also known as "The Green Book", it contains worship liturgies as well as a complete hymnal.
With One Voice
Published in 1995, With One Voice (WOV) offers a broad diversity of musical styles in its hymn and service music collection which is designed to supplement the LBW with hymns that are gathered from its various histories, cultures, and people.
Evangelical Lutheran Worship
Published in 2007, Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) offers a range of hymns, liturgical settings and texts ranging from the traditional to new offerings based on the diverse Lutheran heritage of the ELCA.
Large Print editions of both hymnals are available for members or visitors. Ask the usher for a copy when you are seated.
