Liturgical Songs

The historic liturgy provides a structure for leading the congregation in its encounter with God through the Word and in the Sacraments. The songs of the liturgy include texts based on scripture that have been used by Christians in worship for centuries. These texts have been set to music many, many times in many diverse forms, and have provided new and diverse forms of liturgical music. Hopefully, this will keep happening, that no matter the predominant musical idiom of the age, these greats texts will continue to be sung by God’s people. This setting is offered to the church as a simple-to-learn and easy-to-sing contemporary liturgy.

The Manchester setting was originally composed and introduced at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Manchester, Iowa, where it is still used.  Although written for Lutheran worship, these liturgical songs can be used in any setting that makes use of the historic liturgy. These songs were written for a specific part of the liturgy, but they can find use in other parts of the service, or as part of a contemporary liturgy or service.
