Hymns

Opening hymn: LBW #25, Rejoice, Rejoice, Believers (LSB #515, ELW #244)

Hymn of the Day: LSB #345, Hark! A Thrilling Voice is Sounding (the better tune)

(ELW #246)

Or LBW #37 (you can substitute tune #494, Jesus Calls Us; O’er the Tumult!)

Communion Hymn #1: LBW #224, Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness (LSB #636)

Communion Hymn #2: LBW #87, Hail to the Lord’s Anointed (LSB #398)

(Can also sing this hymn to tune of LBW #369, “The Church’s One Foundation. In fact, if you use it during communion, or have a congregation unfamiliar with the hymn, I’d recommend it.)
