Can you give us an example of a good Lutheran hymn, and what makes it good?

Ted asks about what makes a good Lutheran hymn. Rod talks about the history of hymnody, pointing to Martin Luther's work, and references a Robert Preus quote about, "Good hymns help you to sing the faith into your own heart.", and references a number of favorite hymns from different sources.
