I was baptized, confirmed and grew up in the ALC/ ELCA. I've since left them and joined the LCMS as it was closer to what I remember Church being and have been happier ever since. Part of the reason I left the ELCA was because they stopped using the Lutheran Book of Worship along with With One Voice.
Growing up my church used this setting every week, so naturally this brings me so much nostalgia. Even today hearing another setting in a church just isn't the same. I recently found an accompanist's edition of the LBW in my university library and using it I transcribed a few of these pieces into MIDI files so I can enjoy them over and over again, distracting from my sad realization that the church Mom currently goes to...just doesn't live up. Furthermore, I checked back on livestreams of my old church and they only very seldom use this setting anymore, they don't even have the same pastor, and that's sad too. -Only the "Help, save, comfort...." of the pastor's part of the Kyrie was sung, all the "...let us pray to the Lord"s were spoken -All of the "Lord be with you" and "The peace of the Lord be with you always" exchanges were spoken, even the one before the "Sanctus" -"Glory" and "Feast" were sung back-to-back, it was only "Feast" for a long time but not long before mom switched churches they'd introduced "Glory" -"Let the Vineyards" (which this compilation sadly omits) was the offertory at one point but was replaced by "Render" about 10 years ago -"Lamb" always preceded communion, "Thank the Lord" came after (for a while the first line of the latter was changed to "Thankful hearts and voices raise," which I feel sounds better). -In "Lamb," everyone kneeled on the last "peace." -We never sang "Return to the Lord your god" or "Lord now you let your servant..."
Thanks so much. Our wanderings have landed us back in the Lutheran church and we are so happy! I grew up on Setting 3. I don't get 1/8th notes and 16th. I so wish we could simplify this into an easier chant-like response. The spirit of the NT was to make it accessible to the masses. These melodies don't seem very accessible. None the less, thanks so much for posting this. It is a fast track for assimilating.
Born in 1992, I was baptized at St. John of the Cross Lutheran in the Pittsburgh/McKeesport, Pennsylvania and my paternal grandfather sang the beginning "Let us pray to the Lord" every week, rain or shine, healthy or sick, all the way back even before my own parents were born until the church could no longer afford to stay open probably around 2010. It's a shame that you don't see as many posts online of the music for the Divine Service 2, and that's what I remember the most common and vividly as a child there. So many wonderful memories, definitely sad how fast time flies though. Best part about this though? My paternal grandfather was the lead singer, and my MATERNAL grandfather was part of the "attendance" observers and always counted each week, and BOTH my maternal and paternal grandmothers were part of this woman's Bible Study (AKA gossip) group. So both sides of my grandparents grew up in that church, and my mom and dad were therefore both baptized there and grew up there, so I'm always fond of the Lutheran church, but actually find it genuinely hard to go to Lutheran services because it just brings so many good but emotional memories. *Sorry for the giant chapter book of a comment* LOL
Thanks Patty for watching and leaving your comment really appreciated it. Good to hear that you are baptized and grown up in the Lutheran Church. My prayer to you is this... hope someday that you will find time visit again a local Lutheran Church. Jesus is with you. God's Blessing Patty
This setting is actually more common than one might think. The old Common Services of 1917 (LBW Holy Communion 3) amd 1888 (LSB Divine Service 3) are older harder musical arrangements to sing. I grew up in in an ELCA/former ORIGINAL LCA congregation and also attended an LCMS congregation who used this setting. I like to call this "The common service of 1978" (this particular liturgical setting has easier music in particular with the Gloria, the Sanctus, Agnua Dei, and Nunc Dimitis). This liturgical setting (also Setting 1) originated in the LBW although the verse What Shall I Render came with the most updated Lutheran Hymnals) I grew up with Create in Me and Let The Vineyard Be Fruitful (in the end because we with Communion being Every Sunday, we used Let The Vineyards in every service). I like the Thanl The Lord piec te. I heatd the Pax Domini spoken in the ELCA AND chan in thé LCMS. The What Shall I Render verse, sung 7n this version of the 1978 LBW Holy Communion 2 Liturgy after the conclusion of the offertory is not Lutheran at all, but rather a very old Baptist Hymnal of 1984 piece. I waamexpowed to it mainly in Christian School and during the services at Pacific Garden Mission where ot was a connon pieceplayed after the offertory.
Hey "Highest Praise". Our congregation recently began utilizing the LSB Divine Service--Setting 2. It's beautiful--but, kinda difficult. Your videos have been immensely helpful. However, in building my playlist I found it necessary to dissect your video and place the pieces where required. They have been immensely helpful. I would like to send them to you and let you post them so credit goes where credit is deserved. Contact me and I'll send them your way...
Deeply enjoy the memories of a Pastor with a solid masculine voice singing these “let us pray to the LORD..”. Beauty
This is such a beautiful divine musical setting.....

Thos came from Holy Communion 2 in the LBW.
