Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther's Hymn of the Reformation: Ein Feste Burg Ist Unser Gott in the English Language
Reformation Hymn Em feste Burg ist unser Gott. But, like those grand mediaeval hymns the Dies Ime and Stabat Mater Dolorosa, it has challenged and defied the skill of the best translators and imita tors. For many years I have been collecting translations of this grand hymn and herewith send forth the English translations including one in broad-scotch, mak1ng m all 80 versions. This collection is by far the largest which has ever been published. I take this opportunity to thank the many friends, especially the Rev. J as. Mearns, of Owston, Lincolnshire, England, for their kind contributions.
Go forth, little book - I to others now leave thee, Go seek among strangers in future thy friends.
