The Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary (ELH) is a hymnal created by the Evangelical Lutheran Synod in 1996. The Norwegian heritage of the ELS is evident in this hymnal, although a broader ethnicity is clearly represented. From the indexes located in the back of the hymnary, on pages 926ff entitled "Translated Hymns", it is clear that the majority of the hymns come from German, Scandinavian and Latin sources, however Greek, Czech, French, and other sources are also present. The cover of this hymnary is black with a gold imprinted logo on the front cover.

It gave lengthy biographical notes on the authors and composers, and commentaries on the hymns, as well as additional indexes.

The introduction of hymns was part of a reform of worship in the second half of the 19th century which also saw the appearance of church organs and stained glass. This reform began in individual congregations such as Greyfriars Kirk, and it took several decades before the General Assembly was ready to produce a hymnal for the whole of the Church. The Hymnary was intended to be used together with the psalter, and thus omits such favourites as "The Lord's my shepherd". It contained 650 pieces.

Other more conservative members felt drawn to the message of the Oxford Group that focussed on the wealthier members of society.

Mission Praise has been through a number of editions. Each edition has a words only book in both regular and large print and a music book.

Known as CH3, the 1973 hymnary was more than a new edition, it was an entirely new compilation. It appeared in Oxford University Press, and contained 695 items. When it first appeared, it was widely criticised for omitting many favourite hymns ("By cool Siloam's shady rill" was a prominent example), but it introduced many modern hymns like "Tell out my soul" which soon became popular - albeit to the tune "Woodlands" rather than the prescribed tune "Mappersley" which is rarely, if ever, used. CH3 included those metrical psalms (or sections of psalms) which were most frequently used, and thus effectively replaced the psalter in most congregations, though a version with the full psalter at the front was also printed.

All the metrical psalms in the volume were expanded with a trinitarian doxology which the Psalter had printed separately; as a result, these suddenly came to be used far more frequently than ever before. The volume is structured thematically under eight sections, each (except the last) with a number of subsections: # Approach to God # The Word of God: His mighty acts # Response to the Word of God # The sacraments # Other ordinances # Times and seasons # Close of service # Personal faith and devotion The distinctive plain red cover set CH3 apart from the previous hymnbooks and psalters, which all had dark blue-black bindings. Like RCH, CH3 also had a handbook: John Barkley, Handbook to the Church Hymnary Third Edition, OUP 1979. Its commentaries are less full and scholarly than those of Moffatt and Patrick, but more closely tailored to the needs of worship preparation.

Though it gained popularity in the United States and was published with it, Pott did not like Sullivan's tune and banned it from being published alongside his words. He stated "I am afraid that some of its popularity arose from Sullivan having, contrary to my desire, set it in The Hymnary to a pretty, trivial but altogether unfit tune of his own – which caught the ear of people who did not trouble themselves to see that the hymn was of quite another character. In giving permission since for the printing of the hymn I have always made it a condition that Sullivan’s tune shall not be in any way referred to". Due to Pott's ban of Sullivan's tune being published with the words, "Angel Voices, Ever Singing" has predominantly been played using Monk's "Angel Voices" tune up to the 21st century.

Citing a view that "Christianity is about spiritual redemption, not social reform", she asserted that the two really should not be separated, but went on to emphasise personal responsibility, also quoting St Paul by saying "If a man will not work he shall not eat". Choice played a significant part in Thatcherite reforms and Thatcher claimed choice was also Christian by stating that Christ chose to lay down his life and that all individuals have the God-given right to choose between good and evil. Thatcher also justified her belief in individual salvation by quoting from the hymn I Vow to Thee, My Country (which was not in the Church of Scotland's hymnary of the time): The Margaret Thatcher Foundation, which reproduces the full text of the speech on its website and characterises the nickname "Sermon on the Mound" as distasteful, rates it as having key importance as a statement of Thatcher's views on religion, morality, family, social security, welfare, taxation, education, race, nationality, and civil liberties.
