Today we sang:

Prepare the Royal Highway (LSB 343)
Comfort, Comfort Ye My People (LSB 347)
On Jordan's Bank the Baptist's Cry (LSB 344)

I've got "Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding" (LSB 345) scheduled for next Sunday. BTW, I like the tune LSB has for that hymn, Merton, better than the tune in TLH (60), O der alles, or in LW (18), Freuen wir uns all in ein.

I have yet to find a Hymnal setting for that text that I really like. The most singable version is from the Eugene Butler Cantata "Wondrous Night".

This Sunday:

Prepare the Royal Highway LBW # 26
Comfort, Comfort Now my People LBW # 29

Next Sunday:

Savior, of the Nations Come LBW # 28
On Jordan's Banks LBW # 36
Joy to the World LBW # 39 (for Gaudete Sunday)
