The Magnificat
Das Magnificat verdeutschet und ausgelegt · Martin Luther, 1521
Free elsewhereLuther on Mary's song, written partly at the Wartburg. Warmer about Mary than most Protestants expect, and the clearest short statement of his conviction that God works by lifting up the lowly and emptying the full.
