The title is Leiderlust. You can find it here. For the Luthern Church, Wisconsin Synod. 1912.

St. Louis because likely a German-language press. Apparently they did work for other synods as well.

I found 2 copies in libraries:

Libraries at a small Lutheran and a small Baptist college.

And the translation, although both English and German are not my mother language:

SONGS OF JOY

A collection of 4-voiced songs

Mixed choir, for piano and melodeon accompaniment. With special consideration
for the house and small singing clubs.

8th edition

 

"mit besonderer Rücksicht auf das Haus" wasn't proper German then and isn't today. except the Germans were living in such miserable shacks that they had "to have respect for" the house because it would hef gonn to ze florr whenn singing too laud or after a gudd sipp of bier not ander fief liters.
"8te vermehrte Auflage" is not meaning that the Germans themselves proliferated but that there were a few pages added after the last edition.

 

I have Google translate on my phone and if you choose the camera option you can scan text with your phone for an instant translation. As with all translations it sometimes is a bit wonky but it's easy.

 

better no translations at all than wonky ones that may lead to urban legends on the net.
I use my phone as I used my old Bakelite blower - to call someone.

 

Maybe but sometimes it's good to know what language you're looking at and the general subject. (My phone isn't new and while I do talk on it I use it pretty much as I use my computer, it just travels easier.)

 

Thanks everyone for the information and Ex Libris for the translation.
