Christian Worship: Hymnal is the most recent hymnal authorized by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). It was published in 2021 by Northwestern Publishing House (NPH), the official publisher of the WELS, and intended to replace Christian Worship: A Lutheran Hymnal. The WELS Hymnal Project Executive Committee began preparations for the hymnal in 2013;[1] the project chairman was Jon Zabell and the project director was Michael Schultz.[2]
NPH maintains a listing of omissions and musical errors in the first edition of the Hymnal and auxiliary books. A notable omission in the first printing of the pew edition is Prayers for Worship, which were intended to be printed on the inside front cover of the hymnal.[3] NPH provides a PDF of this page that can be printed and affixed inside the cover of a first edition pew hymnal.[4]
