Martin Luther's Evening Prayer

Luke 2 The Name of Jesus

Dr. Richard Zeile

This service for New Year's Eve begins with prayers entitled "Devotion to the Holy Infancy," Psalm 8, and the homily on the meaning of the name Jesus, meaning "Savior" and its two aspects, that of rescue and the other of healing. Hymns, "Infant Holy, Infant Lowly" and Longfellow's translation of "Oh, How Blessed" are also included.
