Morning and Evening Prayers for All Days of the Week Together With Confessional, Communion, and Other Prayers and Hymns for Mornings and Evenings, and Other Occasions

This lovingly restored collection brings an early‑modern Lutheran prayer tradition into the English‑speaking world. Originally compiled by the 16th‑century superintendent John Habermann, the volume blends scriptural supplications, psalm‑inspired language and concise confessional statements that have guided generations of believers. The translator’s notes explain how the work was shaped by the turmoil of World War I, adding a brief set of prayers for those turbulent days.

Listeners will find structured prayers for both sunrise and sunset, along with familiar hymns rendered from the Common Service Book and several new translations never before published in English. The book also offers a concise confession, communion liturgy and a handful of special petitions for times of war, making it a versatile resource for personal devotion or family worship. Heard aloud, the rhythm of the verses encourages a quiet moment of reflection, inviting the faithful to enter the “closet of the soul” and converse with the divine.
