Worship Music and Modernisation of Hymns
The official hymn book of the Lutheran Church of Australia is the Lutheran Hymnal with Supplement.
The Church is happy to use gender-inclusive language where this does not detract from the teachings of the Word of God and to this end, the Church is happy to modernise the language of its hymns where such modernisation is practical.

Famous quotes containing the words worship, music and/or hymns:
“Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.”
—Feodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881)
“I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul”
—Unknown. “What Wondrous Love is this!” L. 3-5, Dupuy’s Hymns and Spiritual Songs (1811)
