Tagging Hymns

A delightful way to get into the Bible is to find verses to match each thought of a well known hymn. This works best on the oldie goldies as they are usually scripture based. The first one I tried was A Mighty Fortress, by Martin Luther. Note: The hymns in this section are all taken from public domain.
