#809: Send Me, Lord

This is one of the few hymns in this volume that has an "ad lib" in the repeat to fill in your own verbs (Send, lead, fill...). Presumably the arrangers figured the target audience is North American Lutherans who tend to be stodgy white people who are bad at improvisation. (To be clear, I include myself in this category.)

This arrangement is in E major with a rather low melody, I wonder whether they were expecting guitar accompaniment or some other kind of instrumentation?
