Luther wrote "Aus Tiefer Not Schrei ich zu Dir" (From depths of woe I cry to you) in 1523 as a hymnic version of Psalm 130 and sent it as a sample to encourage evangelical colleagues to write psalm-hymns for use in German worship.<ref>Robin A.

Luther's 1540 hymn "Christ unser Herr zum Jordan Kam" (To Jordan came the Christ our Lord) reflects the structure and substance of his questions and answers concerning baptism in the ''Small Catechism.'' Preachers and composers of the 18th century, including J. S. Bach, used this rich hymn as a subject for their own work.

===Method of Biblical Interpretation===
Martin Luther as a student of [[Nicolas of Lyra]], became an ardent [[Historicism|Historicist]] meaning that he believed in seeking the historical context to determine the interpretation on any scripture.
When applied to prophecy he actively taught that the Roman Catholic Church was the "little horn"; he taught that Rome was that great persecuter of Christians so evidently true in the inquisitions before them and as stated in Daniel 7. This became a massive call to Christians to abandon the institution of the Roman Catholic Church.
When applied to Daniel 11 he described: "In this chapter (Daniel 11) he shows how the kingdoms will fight and quarrel among themselves… all these things are to be understood as historical events.”<ref> Martin Luther, Preface to the Prophet Daniel (1530)</ref>. Many of his thoughts are echod in [[Commentary: Daniel 11, Anthony's Historicist Study Aid|Anthony's Historicist Study Aid]].
