Ah…no, they are not.
If they can be improved upon , and made (more) Christ centered, that is a good thing.
Our pastor does just that, and quite often.
This one (our Sending Hymn today) we sang to the tune of #369 in the Lutheran Book of Worship, text by Rev. Mark Anderson
O God, From Word and Table
O God from Word and table, you send us on our way
Our words could never thank you for all you’ve done this day
In bread and wine and promise, our lives have been restored
Your gracious love has claimed us, through Christ our mighty Lord
You boke the bread of promise and poured the cup divine
And through these simple off”rings your mercy now is mine
O Lamb of God, Most Holy, your grace alone imparts
the faith that trusts you only, and satisfies our hearts.
What struggles lie before us, O Lord we cannot know
Our lives, as yours, O Jesus, into this world must go
Foresaking earth’s brief glories, you chose to bear the cross
So we, by faith, will follow and count the world as loss.
