Abstract
The essay begins by turning to Psalm 81. The author uses the psalm as a guide to finding what makes for a rich and righteous example of our speech with God in the hymns and prayers we sing to him. He continues by listing the eight qualities of greatness found in Christian hymnody. He then finishes with examples of great Lutheran hymns and their authors.
