 PREFACE.

HE Common Service here offered for the use 0!

Evangelical Lutheran Congregations has been pre-
pared by the joint action of the three General Bodies
with which most of the Lutheran Congregations using
the English language in public worship are connected.
The General Synod South, in 1878, proposed to the
General Synod and the General Council, to unite in
the preparation 01 a Common Service Book for all
English-speaking Lutherans. The proposal was ac-
cepted, and the three Bodies united in establishing
the Rule by which those charged with the preparation
of the work should be guided, and by which all ques-
tions arising should be decided, to wit: “ The common
consent of the pure Lutheran Liturgies of the Six-
teenth Century, and when there is not an entire
agreement among them, the consent of the largest
number of those of greatest weight.”

The Lutheran Reformers began early to revise and
purify the Service of the Church, and to introduce the
language of the people. Luther led the way in this
work, in 1523, with his treatises: “ Of the Order of
Divine Service in the Congregation,” and, later in the
same year, his “ Form of the Mass and of Communion
for the Church at Wittenberg.” John Bugenhagen,
chief pastor at Wittenberg, published “ An Order of
Christian Mass, as it is held at Wittenberg, 1524;”
and in December of that year, Conrad Rupfi', the
Chapel Master of the Duke of Saxony, and especially
his assistant and successor, John Walther, aided
Luther in arranging music for the service in German,
and the whole chapel came from Torgau to take part
in its introduction. In 1525 Doeber’s Evangelical
Mass was introduced at Niirnberg, and the “ Teutech
Kircbenambt,” at Strasburg. “ The Order of Govern-
ment and Worship ” for the Duchy of Prussia was is-
sued. ‘n 1525, that for Brunswick in 1528, that for

Hamburg in 1529, and during the next few years, a
large number of cities and countries in Germany is-
lued their German Orders of Service. In 1533 three
Orders of great importance appeared: that for Bran-
denburg-Niirnberg; that for the city and jurisdiction
of Wittenberg, which superseded the personal Orders
of Luther and Bugenhagen and thereafter was used
by them; and that for the whole Electoral Saxony, in
the Visitation Articles.

That in the multitude of these works, the directions
for the Services of Worship should at first differ from
each other, is but natural. But, after a time, these di—
vergencies take a more definite form, and there ap-
pears in Saxony and throughout the countries North
of it. the most generally accepted type of Lutheran
Liturgies. When, after the death of Duke George, the
reformation took place in the Duchy of Saxony, Jus-
tus Jonas prepared the Order of Government and
Worship, 1539, with the aid of Spalatin, Cruciger and
Myconius, and in consultation with all the Saxon the-
ologians, and it became at once and permanently a
standard of Lutheran Service. To this class of Lu-
theran Liturgies belong also those of Mecklenburg,
Liineburg, Calenherg, and of many North German
cities and States, in their successive editions, in whose
preparation Bugenhagen, Melanchthon, Chemnita,
Andreas, Arndt, and other illustrious men had part

The Common Service here presented is intended to
reproduce in English the amt-semus of these pure Lu-
theran Liturgies. It is therefore no new Servxce, such
as the personal tastes of those who have prepared it
would have selected and arranged; but it is the old
Lutheran Service, prepared by the men whom God
raised up to reform the Service, as well as the doctrine
and life of the Church, and Whom He plenteously en-
dowed with the gifts of the Holy Ghost.

The Lutheran Liturgies of the Sixteenth Century
were not new and original works, created by the Be-
formers. but they were chiefly revisions of the Serv-
mm or the Latin Church. with Iome sdditions- m

however in the language of the people. The Sermon
has a greatly increased importance, and the purity of
doctrine is most carefully guarded; church-song taku
a new flight; an addition is made here and there, as
of the General Prayer, the Exhortation to Communi-
cants, or some other new feature; but the whole out
line and structure of the Service of the Western
Church for a thousand years before the Reformation is
preserved. Whatever seemed to the Relormers to be
contrary to the pure teaching of Holy Scripture was
removed, whatever was pure and Scriptural was re-
tained in the old order of parts. and thus the contin-
uous succession of pure Service was unbroken.

The whole series of lntroits, Collects, Epistles and
Gospels, as found in the Common Service, was finally
completed, after some centuries of growth, in the
reign and domain of Charlemagne, and is found in the
Missals of the! erman and French Provinces of that
time. Though differing from the Roman use, it con-
tinued in force in Germany until the Reformation,
and it was finally set aside by the Council of Trent.
0f the Sunday Collects, there are but few which have
not been in continuous use for more than twelve hun-
dred years. With some ditl'erence in the days for
which they are appointed, most of these beautiful
Collects are now in use in all Roman Catholic
Churches, though only in Latin; in the Lutheran
Churches of Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
the United States, and wherever scattered throughout
the world ; and in the Church of England throughout
the whole empire, as well as in the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in this country. Here is indeed aCom—
.nunion of Saints.

In the Providence of God, it was allotted to the Lu-
theran Church, first of all, to revise, purify and trans-
late the Service at the time of the Reformation. Sh.
did this important work,not for herself alone, but for
all Protestants who retained any parts of the 01d Ser-
vice. The Lutheran Revision of the Communion

than twenty years of continuous use, and had even, at
Luther’s instigation, been provided with complete
music, varied for all the Festivals. for full Choral

can Church and issued in the First Prayer Book of
Edward VI.

There is an extremely c10se agreement between this
first Prayer Book of the Church of England and the
Common Service. It is due to these causes. The
Sarum and other Anglican Missals, from which the
revision and translation was made, agreed almost
entirely with the Bamberg, Mainz, and other German
Missals, ditfering with them from t ”a Roman. Arch-
bishop Cranmer, Primate of the Anglican Church,
and head of the commission which prepared the
Prayer Book, was intimately acquainted with the
Lutheran Service, having spent a year and a half in
Germany in conference with theologians and princes,
and he was most intimate with tmiander when he was
at work on the Brandenlmrg—Nl’irnberg Order, in
1532. Two Lutheran Professors were called to the
English Universities, and aided in this work, one of
whom, Bucer, had with Melanchthon and others pre-
pared the Revised Order of Cologne, 1543. And finally,
during the years from 1535 to 1549, there had been
constantly recurring embassies and conferences be-
tween the Anglican and Lutheran divines and rulers
It is therefore not at all strange that the first and best
Service Book of the Church of England should have
so closely followed the Lutheran use as to present
Very few divergencies from it. And should that
Church and her daughters return to the use of the
Book of Edward VI., as many of her most learned and
devout members have ever wished, there would be an

tween the two daughters of the Reformation. who

 PR-EFACE. xi

This Common Irvice is in its newest parts as old as
the fline of the Reformation; in its order and in the
great body of its contents, it represents the pure Serv-
ice of the Christian Church of the West from the
earliest times; it embraces all the essentials of wor-
ship from the establishment of the Christian Church
on earth; and it has given expression to the devotion:
of countless millions of believers, throughout many
generations. It can lay claim, as no other Order of
Service now in use can, to be the Common Service of
the Christian Church of all ages. It can reasonably
be tendered to all Protestants, who use a fixed order,
as the SerVice of the future, as it is of the past.

But no Order of Service, however pure, ancient, or
widely observed, can be made absolutely binding on
the Congregation. The ordering of the Services of
Worship has been placed by Christ in the liberty of
the Church, under the guidance of the Holy Ghost.
On this subject our Confessions are very clear. “ Un-
to the true unity of the Church, it is sufficient to
Igree concerning the doctrine of the Gospel and the
administration of the Sacraments. Nor is it neces-
sary that human traditions, rites, or ceremonies in-
stituted by men, should be alike everywhere." Aug:-
burg Confession. Art. VII. “ We believe that the true
unity of the Church is not injured by dissimilar rites,
instituted by men. Although it is pleasing to us that,
for the sake of unity and good order, universal rites
be observed.” Apology, Chap. IV. 33. “ We believe,
teach, and confess, that the Church of God of every
place and every time has the power, according to its
circumstances, to change such ceremonies, in such
manner as may be most useful and edifying to the
Church of God.” Formula of Concord, I, Chap. X. 4.
“We reject and condemn as wrong when these ordi-
nances of men are urged by force upon the Congrega-
tion of God as neceSSary." I]. Chap. X. 27. On the
other hand, our Confessors are equally clear in aflirmo
ing their belief that such ancient Services as were
pure shwld be retained. “But we cheerfully unin-

 

   

    

xii PREFACE.

am the old traditions made in the Church, for the
sake of usefulness and tranquillity; and our enemies

falsely accuse us of abolishing good ordinances.”

Apology VIII. 38, 39. And they showed the sincerity
of this conviction practically, by their revision of the
old Services, and the establishment of the revised
order in every Lutheran land and city.

In agreement with this principle and practice, the
General Bodies which have prepared the Common
Service, commend it to all Lutheran Congregations.
But at the same time they declare that they dare not
make any order of service binding on the congregate
tion, and that no Order of Service should be used any
longer than it serves to edification. They have agreed
to furnish the full Lutheran Service, with all its pro-
visions, for all who wish to use it. But they also de-
clare, that if, at any time or place, the use of the full
Service is not desired, it is in entire conformity with
good Lutheran usage to use a simpler Service, in which
only the principal parts, in their order, are contained.

This Service has, during its preparation, received
the approval of those connected with the several Gen-
eral Bodies engaged in it, with a remarkable unanim-
ity. There seems to be a strong desire for this bond
of union; 9. general wish {or the restoration of the
pure Services of our Fathers ; a hearty consent to the
principles which ruled them in their revision of the
old Services; a longing for unity in the services of
worship between all believers; and a conviction that
a historic Service furnishes the only basis of such
agreement.

This Common Service of the Reformers may well be
placed by the side of the Confession of Augsburg, the
one the Central Service, the other the Central Confer
Iion, of the Protestant Churches. We would gladly
behold the day when the One, Holy, Catholic, Shrin-
tinn Church, shall use one Order of Service, and unit.
in one Confession of Faith.
