Martin Luther was not only a great theologian, he also
understood how putting the truths of Scripture to music can aid in remembering
those truths. Therefore, among his many hymns, he wrote hymns that
correspond to each of the six chief parts of his catechism. This
link https://1drv.ms/w/s!AoUyqbGDm8qnlBCXlY_7DPF1nRKi will provide
you with a Bible study and the text of To Jordan Came the Christ, Our
Lord, Luther's hymn pertaining to Holy Baptism. You can find a video
on Grace Lutheran Church's (Neligh, NE) Facebook page where I discuss this Bible study. The tune for this
hymn can be found at https://hymnary.org/tune/christ_unser_herr_zum_jordan_kam
(the alternate tune, ‘Elvet Banks,’ which appears on the sheet of the hymn text
does not have a recording available) . Luther’s Small Catechism
can be found at http://catechism.cph.org/en/sacrament-of-holy-baptism.html
