Martin Luther’s ‘Joy to the World’
Martin Luther never sang “Joy to the World.” But Luther’s hymn “From Heaven Above to Earth I Come” explodes with Christmas joy.
Hymns
Lord Keep Us Steadfast
Luther’s much simpler and shorter hymn, “Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Your Word” (LSB 655), simply wins the day, hands down.
Saints singing their faith
Through hymns, the Gospel is carried to hearts and minds in music.
Singing the gospel
Hymns do more than effect emotion or even devotion. They bear the rich, deep words of Holy Scripture — the very Gospel itself — sung right into our hearts and minds.
