The new Christian Worship: Hymnal combines the best from past traditions with the best from current resources to create a hymnal that keeps the gospel at the heart of worship. Designed with a life of worship in mind, the new Christian Worship has something for everyone:

Worshipers

• Over 600 hymns, two-thirds of which are from Christian Worship (1993) and Christian Worship: Supplement
• Luther’s Small Catechism
• A set of rites, prayers, and canticles for daily use
• Daily devotions for personal or small group use
• Bible passage references that relate to each hymn’s core message for devotional usage. 
• Hymns are formatted on the page to benefit singers. Various types of hymns will appear with melody only, especially when beneficial for the singer.

Pastors

• Three setting options for the order of service
• Three-and one-year lectionaries
• Rites and devotions for congregations, schools, church meetings, and small group settings 

Musicians
