Hymns of Martin Luther

Reformer Martin Luther was not only a theologian but a musician and lyricist. Leonard Woolsey Bacon presents several English translations of Luther's hymns in appropriate meter for singing with the original music. The German texts are also included, as well as a copy of Luther's Small Catechism as translated by Robert E. Smith.

For musicians and others interested in Christian music, this little volume includes songs to the Holy Trinity and an especially touching ballad of two Protestant martyrs who were burned for their faith in Christ.

Luther is always worth study and this particular study is made immensely more enjoyable when done beside a browser opened to www.SmallChurchMusic.com, an Australian website featuring written music and sound files for many of the songs in this book...in English, of course.
