241 - O Lord, How Shall I meet You
LBW 23. The stanzas from the LBW version which are included are 1, 3, 4, the first half of 5, and a modified second half of 6.
The second half of LBW stanza 6 begins: "[And blessed hope to those] Who love the Lord's appearing". This has been changed to "All hail the Lord's appearing!".
Phrases are now contained on a single system of music, rather than being arbitrarily carried to the next line due to barline placement.
This graphical change is odd given that the poetry of the sixth stanza was hammered into a new combined stanza.

It is interesting to compare some of these translations or settings with what was done in the new LCMS hymnal, Lutheran Service Book.

Also interesting is the work done by the "little Norwegian Synod", the ELS:
