Praise & Honor: Hymn-Inspired Devotions

Hymns are magnificent gifts to the Lutheran Church. Hymn texts new and old provide catechetical and biblical literacy for both those newer to faith and those who have a lifelong love of hymns. Praise & Honor: Hymn-Inspired Devotions features introductions to 14 hymns with devotions based on each stanza, helping readers learn the biblical basis of the words the authors chose. The hymns align with milestone life events, such as Baptism, Confirmation, birth, death, marriage, and the like. Hymns included: God's Own Child, I Gladly Say It Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus Jesus Has Come and Brings Pleasure Eternal Gracious Savior, Grant Your Blessing Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence O Christ, Who Shared Our Mortal Life O Come, O Come, Emmanuel Where Shepherds Lately Knelt Give Ear, O Zion, to God's Call Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted If Christ Had Not Been Raised from Death The Lord's My Shepherd, I'll Not Want We Praise You and Acknowledge You, O God
