"Savior of the nations, come"

In "Savior of the Nations, Come," Luther illustrates the birth of the Lord our Savior.  And how he was born of the virgin Mary.  He was not only just Mary's son, he was also they Lord's.  Luther also tells us that when returning to his Heavenly home, Jesus overcomes death and hell.  At the end of the hymn, Luther glorifies God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  This hymn is so strong because of the diction Luther chooses.  By using "Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned." Luther strengthens the hymn.  It makes us think about how everyone disowned Christ, even the closest of his friends.  Using other words such as left, ignored would not have portrayed the same feeling of being abandoned.  Yet God the Father was always with him and waited for him to return to heaven.  Another strong point in the hymn is verse five. "Thou, the Father's only Son, Hast o'er sin the victory won. Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see?" It is important because it informs us on the relationship between God and Jesus and about Jesus' victory over our sin.  This gives us the joy that we will not suffer eternal death because of our sin.
