The manner of receiving the Eucharist differs throughout the world.

An even newer hymnal, Lutheran Service Book (LSB) was published in 2006 that restored many of the features of TLH in the hope that more widespread use could be achieved. In the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, TLH was effectively replaced by Christian Worship: A Lutheran Hymnal in 1993, and few congregations continue to use it on a regular ...
Front page of the Achtliederbuch (1524), known as the first Lutheran hymnal. Martin Luther was a great enthusiast for music, and this is why it forms a large part of Lutheran services; in particular, Luther admired the composers Josquin des Prez and Ludwig Senfl and wanted singing in the church to move away from the ars perfecta (Catholic Sacred Music of the late Renaissance) and towards ...
