Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) is the current primary
Roman Catholic
publishing house, and With One Voice (WOV), published by Augsburg Fortress in 1995.
Evangelical Lutheran Worship has a maroon cover and silver graphic cross logo. Though not all ELCA and ELCIC congregations immediately adopted the book, demand for it was so great that it sold out its first and second printings and some congregations had to delay its adoption until more were available.
The book includes ten musical settings of the liturgy for the
Common Lectionary. Unlike the abbreviated Psalter included in the LBW, the ELW includes the entire Book of Psalms
in a version for congregational prayer and singing. Compared to the LBW, the selection of hymns is expanded, including many options from many of Evangelical Lutheran worship/liturgical service books, hymnals and hymnal supplements published in America in the last two centuries.
In 2020, a supplement named All Creation Sings was published. It has two musical settings of the Holy Communion, a Service of the Word (similar to LBW and WOV), and new hymns and songs.
