Do you mean in the hymnal or do you mean which hymnal? It's the new hymnal. I think it's dark red. I use it every week. You'd think I would know.

We usually use the first setting beginning on page 151 but it varies.

I like the hymnal very much as it points out where the text is found in the Bible. It shows it's not just boring repetition but actually comes from scripture.

We have a very nice short Wed. evening service, also from the new hymnal. It uses lots of psalms.

Someone did a nice job with the new hymnal.

The Lutheran Service Book is an improvement of sorts over its immediate predecessor in that it restores a congregation's ability to observe the traditional liturgy, and a number of hymns previously butchered. However much you like the Divine Service, Setting One, Settings Three and Five would give you goose bumps. (But, of course, all of these settings are head and shoulders above the "contemporary" services which seem to have overwhelmed my home congregation.)
