Anthem of the Reformation

"The sound of a hammer was heard throughout the Christian world and it did not come from a construction site. It originated in the heart and soul of an angry Roman Catholic priest, on October 31, 1517," wrote Lucy Neeley Adams about what Christians now call Reformation Day.

This song was sung by Luther upon entering Worms for the Diet in 1521.



As an aside, Steve Green is a personal favorite (we listen to his "Hide 'Em in Your Heart collection in my preschool class every week!), so I was thrilled to find this recording from 1994.
