Like O Lord, Look Down From Heaven, Behold after Psalm 12; A Mighty Fortress, Psalm 46; My Soul, Now Bless Thy Maker, Psalm 103; etc. My favorite, only in ELH, is the Norwegian hymn As After the Water-Brooks Panteth, Psalm 42/43. -- ELS Pastor Jerry GernanderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-29979660872631115952015-02-06T08:29:57.815-06:002015-02-06T08:29:57.815-06:00It is good to pray the psalter, but the psalm tone...It is good to pray the psalter, but the psalm tones in this book are absolutely wretched. LIttle to no musical value whatsoever. If a Lutheran really wants to pray the psalms, then I would recommend the Dunstan Plainsong Psalter (not modern English, but still familiar) or the Lutheran Brotherhood's Psalm Book. Both use Gregorian psalmody which is far superior than the garbage assembled in the Concordia Psalter. ChrisUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038508116670615703noreply@blogger.com
