Bible Study - Luther's Catechetical Hymns - 'To Jordan Came the Christ, Our Lord'


Martin Luther was not only a great theologian, he also understood how putting the truths of Scripture to music can aid in remembering those truths.  Therefore, among his many hymns, he wrote hymns that correspond to each of the six chief parts of his catechism.  This link https://1drv.ms/w/s!AoUyqbGDm8qnlBCXlY_7DPF1nRKi will provide you with a Bible study and the text of To Jordan Came the Christ, Our Lord, Luther's hymn pertaining to Holy Baptism.  You can find a video on our Facebook page where I discuss this Bible study.  The tune for this hymn can be found at https://hymnary.org/tune/christ_unser_herr_zum_jordan_kam (the alternate tune, ‘Elvet Banks,’ which appears on the sheet of the hymn text does not have a recording available) .  Luther’s Small Catechism can be found at http://catechism.cph.org/en/sacrament-of-holy-baptism.html
