In this hymn of Luther's, he explains the greatness and power of God. He uses emotion in the lines, “Marvel now, O heaven and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth,” to express that God is so great, he chose to be born of an inferior people and he did it all for us. Luther also writes, “Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned.” Christ suffered more than any of us will ever suffer here on earth, but he is so powerful that he still now sits on the throne in heaven. God is so powerful and great that his death was actually a sign of victory over the devil. Luther also wants us to stay in Christ's light and do not let the darkness block it from our sight. “Let not sin o'ercloud this light, Ever be our faith thus bright,” writes Luther. We must stay strong in our faith and not let anyone or anything get in the way. Stay in the right path if we want to be with him forever. We must always praise God in everything that we do. Praise God, his son, Christ, and the Holy Spirit eternally.
