Evangelical Lutheran Worship (compilation/editorial project)

Evangelical Lutheran Worship is the official hymnal of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church–Canada, published by Augsburg Fortress in 2006. As a major denominational hymnal project, it represents a comprehensive compilation and editorial effort involving numerous contributors, musicians, and theologians dedicated to creating a contemporary Lutheran worship resource. The hymnal contains over 900 hymns, liturgical settings, and worship materials reflecting both historic Lutheran traditions and modern hymnody. It incorporates hymns from various Christian traditions while maintaining theological coherence with Lutheran doctrine and practice. Evangelical Lutheran Worship has become central to worship life in ELCA congregations and reflects the ecumenical and inclusive direction of contemporary Lutheran church music.
