war make frequent illusions IL the singing
Of this hymn BY the PEussian army, lew

was composed by Luther, while on his way
to he Die Of Worms, in 1921. Michelef,
in his life Of Luther, states that, "On the
10th Of April Luther came in sight 81
Worms; and n onoe, ON beholding its Old
bell towers, he arose in his chariot, anu
began to sing the hymn he had improy'sed
the words and music Of two days before. at
Oppenheim, the Marseillaise Of the keforI
nation, his y.rars .asra
..Ein fste Burg ist unser GOtt." .s..
/ Audin, another Catkolic historian, says:
"Hn Tyrtaen hymn 20 efiectnally aroused
the nobility, had the Emperor but given the
word, thewhole body would have sounded
to horse, and have marched over the Alps to
combat Rome, tn the chorus Of Luther's war
song" This hymn at once became very
popular and Was the battle song Of the re-
formers during the long years Of war that
followed, which finally resulted in the es-
.tablishnlent Of religious and civil freedom
in Germany. The army of the great Swedish
hero, Gusaayus AdOlphuk went into the
hattie of Lutsen, chanaing this hymn, and
such was the enthusiasm aroused among the
sohiery BY il, that notwithstanding the odds
against them, and the death Of their brave
leader, they completely routed their fOeS,
and gained one Of the decisive rictorics Of his
tory. a.H .'rt.Hs-i ~ ..
