Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Resources

ELH-Icon-webPublished in 1996, the Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary was produced by the worship committee of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS). The pastors and congregations of the ELS trace their theological lineage through the Norwegian immigration of the nineteenth century and the “old” Synodical Conference to the Evangelical Reformation of Denmark and Lutheran Germany in the sixteenth century. The most immediate parentage of the ELH is The Lutheran Hymnary of 1913 (LHry) and The Lutheran Hymnal of 1941 (TLH).
