Any weaknesses in the hymnal? I was amazed at the paucity of prayers. I would have liked the General Prayer included in some form—even as a litany! Maybe more multi-cultural hymns—or did Mr. Sucha wish to retain the Lutheran integrity of SBH? The index of hymn titles have the reference letters not in a real consistent pattern in relation to the index entries. At times names are misspelled ("Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending" states the author is Charles Wesley, but then spells it "Westley" in the blurb below on Wesley's life.

Overall the hymn is a fine piece of work. It's weaknesses can be addressed with a minimum of hassle. It's strengths should put this hymnal on a par with many classic hymnals in Lutheranism.
