Unless stated otherwise, my source for hymn texts and tunes is The Lutheran Service Book.

"Melita"


Although I probably won't have a place in my scheduled posts for it until July, I have a post drafted about "Eternal Father, Strong to Save," the melody for which is "Melita."  Apparently, yester-day was Armed Forces Day, and since this hymn was apparently sung in the navy, I thought it'd be appropriate.

This tune isn't in Lutheran Worship, so this is just twice through the Lutheran Service Book arrangement (#717).  The tune is in Hymnal Supplement 98 (#906), but that arrangement is the same as that in LSB.
