Luther (1538): After all, the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both word and music, namely, by proclaiming [the Word of God] through music and by providing sweet melodies with words. Luther (1545): For God has cheered our hearts and minds through his dear Son, whom he gave for us to redeem us from sin, death, and the devil. He who believes this earnestly cannot be quiet about it. But he must gladly and willingly sing and speak about it so that others also may come and hear it. Luther (1523) Formula missae [his order for the Latin Mass]: I also wish that we had as many songs as possible in the vernacular which the people could sing during mass.
