Excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther's Deutsche Geistliche Lieder: The Hymns of Martin Luther Set to Their Original Melodies, With an English Version Fit motto for the history of the Reformation would be those words out of the history of the Day of Pentecost, How hear we, every man in our own tongue wherein we were born the wonderful works of God! The ruling thought of t e pre-reformation period was not more the maintenance of one Holy Roman Church than of one Holy Roman Empire, each of which was to comprehend all Christendom. The language of the Roman Church and Empire was the sacred language in comparison with which the languages of men's common speech were reckoned common and unclean. The coming-in of the Reformation was the awakening of indi vidual life, by enforcing the sense of each man's direct responsibility to God; but it was equally the quickening of a true national life. In the light of the new era, the realization of the promise of the oneness of the Church was no longer to be sought in the universal dominance of a hierarchical corpora tion; nor was the mystery proclaimed by Paul, that the nations were fellow-heirs and of one body, to be fulfilled in the subjugation of all nations to a central potentate. According to the spirit Of the Reformation, the One Church was to be, not a corporation, but a communion - the communion of saints; and the unity of mankind, in its many nations, was to be a unity of the spirit in the bond of mutual peace. The two great works of Martin Luther were those by which he gave to the common people a vernacular Bible and vernacular worship, that through the one, God might Speak directly to the people and in the other, the people might speak directly to God. Luther's Bible and Luther's Hymns gave life not only to the churches of the Reformation, but to German nationality and the German language. Concerning the hymns of Luther the words of several notable writers are on record, and are worthy to be prefixed to the volume of them.
