The above are all in the Lutheran Book of Worship. The most popular hymns not in the LBW are "Here I Am, Lord," "On Eagles' Wings," and "Precious Lord, Take My Hand," each chosen by 8 people. These hymns, along with "Let Us Break Bread Together," and "Onward Christian Soldiers" round out the top 15. We thank all who took the time to respond to the survey! Come, let us sing to the Lord!
