Preach You the Word

Lutheran Service Book, Hymn #586, "Preach you the Word", Martin Franzmann
Verse 1

"Preach you the Word and plant it home
To men who like or like it not
The Word that shall endure and stand
When flow'rs and men shall be forgot"


And Luther...AELW1:347

"If I were to die within six months, I would hardly have enough time to draw up a testament. For I would remind men of the sum and substance of my preaching; I would exhort and urge them to persevere in it; and, to the extent that I were able to foresee, I would admonish them to be on guard against offense in doctrine. This task could not be completed in one day or in one month."
