Order of the Holy Communion, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod 1941 

This is one of the greatest things that I have ever seen or heard on social media. Amazing! #Lutherans unite! Hopefully, people from other denominations will listen to this, someday.

How anyone could put a thumbs down on this beautiful liturgy. It’s the best!

This actually brought tears to my eyes. So much a part of my childhood. Beautiful.

I really miss the 1941 Hymnal and the Orders of Service. I remember playing those Services and Liturgy for my church and others as guest organist. The hymnals since do not compare.

I heartily thank my friend for all his work in making these discs available on-line through good transcriptions. I hope that this link will be provided on many Missouri Synod church websites, for the interest/benefit of those members who remember this fine old liturgy from their younger days. I was just a teenager when, from July 1972 until September 1975, I had the high privilege of playing this liturgy on many Sundays as one of the organists at my hometown congregation, Immanuel Lutheran Church (LC-MS) of Alpena, Michigan. Years later, following my move to metro Chicago, this set of discs was given to me during my tenure (1996-98) as organist at Bethel Lutheran Church (:LC-MS) of 1410 N. Springfield Ave., Chicago (disbanded in 2008--as no one at Bethel had any use for them at that point. I recollect that the 1941 hymnal was replaced by another (inferior) one in around 1976--though many congregations retained the 1941 hymnal for many years--and I understand that a few still do. Cordially, Ralph A. Pugh.

I really wish that some day they will return to this version. Nothing comes close to it!

We use the TLH every Sunday and I love it !!

My mom passed away last Sunday at 79. This is the hymnal I was raised on. Thank you for posting this.

I miss this So much !! My heart and soul aches for this..😢

My heart is filled with joy as I listen...

This is the beautiful liturgy I grew up with which was still in usage in the late 70's in our LCMS Church - it shaped my young Christian imagination of the Holiness of God. Nothing like the older liturgies, thus I now worship in a ACNA High Anglo-Catholic Church that uses most of the old but similarly beautiful 1928 BCP - Thank you for posting it :)

This service gives me comfort and peace

Oh, how I miss this...

This liturgy is still in use today 2019 in my childhood Trinity Lutheran Church in Great Bend North Dakota. Been searching for this for years! Thank you for posting. Flooding memories.

Thank you for posting this bit of history! I still celebrate this order of service from time to time.

True Lutheran Liturgy.

The organ piece at 18:39 is so tender and beautiful.

This Liturgy is wonderful. Why I'm not a fan of Lutheran Worship, the Lutheran Service Book is good too. Though I was not raised a Lutheran, I did have occasion to attend LCMS parishes that used and still use the Lutheran Hymnal, and so I quite like both the Lutheran Hymnal and the Lutheran Service Book. I am thankful to be able to hear this liturgy. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

🙏🙏🙏 Many Memories Here.Thank You Fore Sharing.🙏🙏🙏

My home congregation used TLH until 2008! Sadly, it has closed and now is a wedding chapel...

Grate Holy Music .

Thanks for posting this document of Lutheran faith and worship. I was raised in the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church on the West Coast and have fond memories of the beautiful liturgy we celebrated there. In particular I recall the J.S. Bach chorales and the liturgical vestments our pastor wore. The liturgy was always prayerful, sincerely spiritual and beautiful. I thank God my mother had the good sense to raise me in a liturgical church. I did not remain Lutheran but am now an Orthodox Christian and reject the schisms of Western Christianity but I will never speak evil of the baptism and other spiritual gifts I received in the Lutheran Church, though I never became a communicant there. I pray for my first pastor and my mother who introduced me to the faith in Christ, for setting my feet on the path toward salvation which comes only in Christ.

For the first decade of my life, I attended an ELS church that probably used a later edition of this hymnal because some of the liturgical music and words on these records doesn't coincide with my memories. Still, no one does worship music like the conservative Lutherans and even though I've been ELCA for 13 years, it's good for my soul to return to my spiritual roots once in a while.

Thank you so much for this.

Divine service setting III LSB is almost identical to the TLH.

Grew up with this service in the 80s and 90s!

It is so neat that this setting still exists in the new LSB.

I have my grandparents hymnal & can follow along.

Praise be to God!

THANKS BE TO GOD!!

"That traditional hymnal has since been replaced throughout most churches with yet another hymnal featuring more contemporary forms of praise music." I don't think this is a fair representation of the current Lutheran Service Book hymnal which includes the old TLH "page 5/15" order. Divine Service I isn't "contemporary praise" but a faithful liturgy which boldly proclaims the Word of God where much of the accompaniment was written a very long time ago (in the 60's and 70's). Divine Service V is the service that Luther wrote, with some modification. Divine Service II was left in for the small number of churches that use it from the LW. Nearly every hymn in the LSB is also in the TLH, with a few newer hymns such as "We Praise You and Acknowledge You" and "Praise The Almighty" and others that have been written by faithful Lutheran hymn writers such as Starke, Blersch, and others who were too young to write hymns for the TLH. While I agree that nonLutheran, secularlized, and CoWo style music should never be in our hymnals (or in our churches for that matter), don't denigrate the LSB which is a very faithful, confessionally sound hymnal, much easier to read and use vs. the TLH, includes more of the Daily Offices, more resources, and even had technology appropriate for 21st century churches (Lutheran Service Builder, online lectionaries, download hymn accompaniments, and the SOS organ service, a necessity for some churches). Anyone who says "I miss this...", why?? Divine Service III in the Lutheran Service Book (current hymnal) is the EXACT SAME service! We use it all the time in my church. What has happened in your churches that your pastors aren't using DS III?? If you miss this service, then go to your pastor and say, "Pastor, Divine Service III!!!"

Does anybody know the name of beautiful prelude that was played before the opening hymn?

Our current LSB still uses this as setting III. Known as the common service. Originally from 1941 TLH

How I miss page 15!

in my opinion heaven is the lutheran hymnal !!!

The Confessional Lutheran faith is the True and Apostolic faith.

Arenl there more recordings of the old hymns?

17:11 Offertory

We still use the closing hymn used here..

Do you know where I could find the chant that was used for the introit? Those were not included in the standard pew edition. I consider myself very fortunate to have grown up with this hymnal-I missed out (thankfully) on LW.

I like this liturgy, but there is nothing wrong with the new LSB hymnal. Even Lutheran Worship is nice. But the contemporary band music and rock music is garbage, and belongs only on the car radio, and outside of a church setting.

God bless u.

The agnus Dei is the piece of liturgy the lady was asking about. Not a hymm. Liturgy. Hope this helps.

anyone who has such a record i would like it if is that they would share it.

Would anyone know the name of the hymn starting at 1:45?

The 1941 Lutheran Hymnal was authorized by the United Association of Commission on Worship. One Lutheran Church. United under one banner. We do not have that all of the divisive human divisions and unaccepting excuses for why they divide is folly. I do not follow the useless wordy and completely mundane music b o r i n g of 2022. When they get there act together maybe the pews will be filled up and until then i listen here.

James Clausen, sorry but I do not know. Good luck.

Wels common service is very similar to this

Goin for a lofi sound I see. Or rather, hear.

This is setting 3 in the new hymnal idk what is so different about this??

Go to my home page.

I am surprised to hear the liturgist speaking his parts, while the congregation sings theirs. Ideally, he’d have sung his parts and they’d have sung their responses. There must have been a strong push to stop pastors from singing their parts, unfortunately. Christ-centered music seems to be one of the things God has used to combat the effects of evil and to strengthen hearts and prayers.

Can somebody tell me what the hymn of the day is at 15:32?
