Martin Luther Song
Tune: Faith of Our Fathers
Come, Martin Luther, sing a song,
To God, the Triune, holy Lord;
Whose love unfailing, in His Son,
E’er rested on thee thru His Word.
Sing, Martin Luther, gladly sing,
With one accord thy praises bring!
Thy God kept thee with mighty arm,
And blessed, these years, our fathers’ faith;
His Word and Sacrament, so free,
Gave comfort sweet in life and death –
Sing, Martin Luther, gladly sing,
With on accord thy praises bring!
Our fathers built with holy zeal
God’s house for worship and for praise;
Thy children now, with trusting faith.
Another house to God did raise –
Pray, Martin Luther, work and pray,
Pray, as thy fathers, every day!
And now, O Martin Luther, hope,
In God and Christ, His only Son;
With loyal faith, the Spirit’s gift,
Serve Him, the holy Three in One.
Pray, Martin Luther, work and pray,
Pray, as thy fathers, every day!
