“Singing Thru The Scriptures” is a hymn project by Rev. John C. Stennfeld categorized by Lectionary A, B, & C as well as by Themes and Books of The Bible
This website is a collection of hymns based upon the Scripture readings for the day for the entire 3-year lectionary cycle used by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Each Sunday has a hymn specifically written from one of the 4 Biblical texts of the day. These hymns were written to further reinforce the readings of the day, enabling the congregation to sing one of the lessons which they have just heard read. These hymns use the very words and phrases from the Scripture readings (organized in verse and rhyme form) to share the text in a new way. All of the hymns are written to meters commonly used in Lutheran Hymnals (and other hymnals too), and thus can easily be sung to existing tunes in the hymnbook, so they are very laity and organist friendly. Also, since the vast majority of hymns are written to meters in which there are multiple tunes, the pastors/organists/worship leaders are able to choose a tune which they feel best fits the mood of the service and the reading, but each hymn is listed with a suggested tune for those who do not wish to search out a tune on their own. May these hymns be a blessing to all who use them. To God be the glory!
