QR code
"The Otterbein Hymnal" by Edmund S. Lorenz is a collection of hymns intended for public and social worship, written in the late 19th century. This hymnal was developed to meet the diverse needs of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, incorporating traditional hymns alongside modern gospel songs. Its purpose is to serve as a resource that enhances the worship experience for congregations by celebrating various aspects of Christian life and
practice. The opening of "The Otterbein Hymnal" introduces its background and purpose, highlighting the request from the General Conference of the Church in 1886 for a new hymnal that would reflect the denomination's characteristics and needs. The preface emphasizes the importance of a hymnal that expresses the full spectrum of Christian experience and supports revival efforts, with a carefully curated selection designed to resonate with both younger and older congregants. The gathered hymns are categorized into themes of worship, scripture, and Christian life, signifying a comprehensive approach to worship that aims to foster deep spiritual engagement and community among believers.
