Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott

...a safe stronghold is our God!     Martin Luther's hymn.  Heinrich Heine's account of its origin may be true.
"A battle hymn was this defiant song, with which he (Luther) and his comrades entered Worms [April 16, 1521]. The old cathedral trembled at these new notes, and the ravens were startled in their hidden nests in the towers. This hymn, the Marseillaise Hymn of the Reformation, has preserved its potent spell even to our days"

And it is my Thought for the Day.......
