We have two hymn requests this evening, and blamed if I don’t use ’em both! This one comes from the White Rabbit.
Savior of the Nations, Come goes back a long long way. Original text by Ambrose of Milan, who died in 397; and the German text, upon which our text is based, by Martin Luther.
Our hope and faith in Jesus Christ will outlast the centuries.
Lovely. Thank you both!
Thanks for posting this, Lee! Our church always sings all the verses to a hymn, even if 12 stanzas long (the good singers uphold the rest of us). Martin Luther wrote around 50 hymns. He also was proficient on the lyre. The brother was a genius!
