The songbook is a non-profit research and network project on contemporary songs sung among churches of The Lutheran World Federation (LWF). It was directed by the Institute of Liturgical Studies of the United Evangelical Lutheran Church of Germany (VELKD) at the University of Leipzig from 2019-2024.

All rights of all included songs belong to and remain with the authors of the curated songs and their respective publishers. Permission for the use of individual songs remains with the authors and their respective publishers who are indicated for each song separately. Copying or reprinting any of the material from this collection is prohibited. Information about the authors and an ongoing exploration of embedding these songs in liturgies can be found on this website for registered members.
