Savior of the Nations Come

In the hyme, Luther is talks about Jesus' birth and how we should glorify him. He uses pathos to help us better understand how powerful this deed was that Jesus did for us, which is dying on the cross to save us from our sins. It also shows how pasionate he is toward this. In the first and second verses he talks about Jesus being born of the Virgin Mary and coming to earth as man. He uses words such as flesh and blood to describe Christ as being man. In verses three, four, and five, he goes on to talk about how the world betrayed him, but he was still king in heaven. Then he rose from the dead with defeat over sin. Luther says that his song of triumph swells. He also says that his kingdom will be boundless and we are waiting to see its holyness. This shows that he was also true God, because only true God can die and raise again to save man from their sins. The last two verses are more about us and our response to what Jesus did for us. He says we should have faith in him and keep our faith shining, and that we should accept the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as our Holy Trinity.
