With One Voice: A Lutheran Resource for Worship, Enlarged Print Edition

About this book

With One Voice has been prepared as an additional volume of resources for Lutherans at worship. It is intended to stand beside the principal worship book presently in use and to supplement its contents. The liturgy of Holy Communion in With One Voice continues to embody the tradition of worship which received its characteristic shape during the Reformation era. The design of the services in this volume aims to reveal this characteristic shape. Two services of Holy Communion (Light of Christ and Bread of Life) are presented with complete musical settings. This resource includes also a Service of Word and Prayer incorporating service music proclamation of the Word creed and confession offering and prayer. The many songs gathered together in the hymn collection of With One Voice include a large number that have already found their way into the repertoire of many Lutheran assemblies. In addition to well-loved hymns from several traditions there are contributions from the diverse cultures of North America as well as a representative sampling of materials from other parts of the world. Accompaniments are included throughout for the hymns and songs in order to enable the use of these materials in a variety of settings and to enable singing in harmony where appropriate
