The
Service Book and Hymnal
(The Red Book) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
Service Book and Hymnal is used at Our Savior's during the
celebration of Danish Days in July. On Saturday we hold a complete worship
service following the calendar and liturgy of the Service Book and
Hymnal. This classic worship book was used by both Spring Valley and
Our Savior's from 1958 until 1996. Although we currently use the Lutheran
Book of Worship, the SBH or "Red Book" still holds a strong
place in the hearts of the members of both congregations. We encourage
anyone who remembers the SBH or wishes to experience a classic and elegant
liturgy, to come and join us on Danish Days for worship. |

 Beginning in the 18th century Lutheran synods of the USA, particularly those under the influence of the patriarch Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, issued a sequence of both German and English hymnals which displayed strong unionist tendencies and included selections of hymns of Anglican and Wesleyan origin. These culminated in the
Common Service Book (music edition, Philadelphia 1917).
The Lutheran Service Book and Hymnal (Minneapolis 1958), was the successor
to the Common Service Book, and was adopted by some two-thirds of North American Lutherans. The decidedly ecumenical
repertoire of this book included 14 plainsong melodies, 37 Scandinavian chorales, and British tunes that outnumbered German
chorales two to one (283 voices 145). The three settings of the service were, respectively: 'Anglican Chant,' a chorale plainsong
mixture devised primarily from the Swedish Mässbok, and an adaptation by Ernest White of the Gregorian Missa orbis factor. Matins and
Vespers were in 'Anglican Chant'.
