Behind the Hymn: Paul Speratus

Episode 18 of "Behind the Hymn" features the Hymn of the Day for this Sunday (September 20, 2020). 

"Salvation unto Us Has Come" (LSB 555) may have ten stanzas in the Lutheran Service Book, but as we pay attention to the lyrics, we come to read and sing about the good news of our justification by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone! In today's special episode, we look back to 1524 when this hymn was first published in the world's first Lutheran hymnal, and we learn about the man who wrote this hymn, Paul Speratus.
