Exegetical and Historical Thoughts thrown in
At a time when the estate of marriage is under great assault, when the devil has convinced the world that a man and a woman should live and sleep together before marriage, and how he turns married couples against each other, it is a great blessing to read the praises of marriage and its blessings from Lutherans in times past.
This hymn is the first of at a least a few hymns on marriage by Rist in the book I am translating. I am sharing it here for your blessing and edification. God be praised and thanked for His estate of marriage.
