Hymns from the Land of Luther

About this book

A collection of German hymns in English translation by Jane Borthwick, first published in 1854. Drawn from the rich chorale tradition of Lutheran Germany, the hymns range across the church year and the experiences of the Christian life. Borthwick's versions helped make the devotional poetry of Luther's homeland familiar and singable in Victorian Britain.
