In Lutheran Service Book, there are two translations of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."
One of those is in the public domain, and the other is not. We will focus on the "rhythmic" version (LSB 656), as that is the one in public domain.
From there we will look at the "isorhythmic" version found in most other hymnals.
Lastly, there will be some German involved. My German is a little rusty, and those of you who know the German well are free to make corrections in the comment section. My mistakes will remain posted on the main page, so be sure to check the comment section for corrections.
As for the isorhythmic version in LSB, we will reference a line or two from each verse, but will not post the full text.
Up next: defining rhythmic and isorhythmic.
