Here is another hymn related to the Reformation. A key aspect of the Reformation story concerns the people who died for the faith, seeking to being the Scriptures and the gospel to their people. This hymn written by martin Luther captures this reality. The story is that Luther wrote these words after getting word that two young men had been burned at the stake in Brussels.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Flung to the heedless winds,
\nOr on the waters cast,
\nThe martyrs\u2019 ashes, watched,
\nShall gathered be at last.<\/p>\n
And from that scattered dust,
\nAround us and abroad,
\nShall spring a plenteous seed,
\nOf witnesses for God.<\/p>\n
The Father hath received,
\nTheir latest living breath,
\nAnd vain is Satan\u2019s boast,
\nOf victory in their death.<\/p>\n
Still, still, though dead, they speak,
\nAnd, trumpet tongued, proclaim,
\nTo many a wakening land,
\nThe one availing Name.<\/p>\n
