Description
The Church responds to God’s love in Christ by singing the faith She has received. In every age authors and composers have written hymn texts and music to confess the saving faith in Christ. Salpidzo Press provides these hymns (new and old) which are not in Lutheran Service Book so that the Church may sing the new song of the Gospel in ever richer ways. Thanks are given for the use of hymns (texts, translations, and tunes) to Steven S. Billings, Chad L. Bird, Matthew Carver, and Duane Osterloth. May this collection be a blessing to the Church!
