Good idea although the price is a little high in my opinion. I wish our Synod would use hymns that average folks could sing. The melodies in this hymnal are for people who study music - the average person can't follow them. In fact, the melody of many hymns of the LSB are not very inspiring. I hear many comments about the difficulty of the hymns. On a positive note having the catechism, psalms, etc., in the hymnal is great. We just need to get back to hymns that people can sing and enjoy singing....
