A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper he, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And, armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
If we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right man on our side
The man of God's own choosing
You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he
The lord of hosts, his name
From age to age the same
And he must win the ba-ttle
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
A mighty fortress is our God
His kingdom is forever
A mighty fortress is our God
His kingdom is forever
A mighty fortress is our God
His kingdom is forever
A mighty fortress is our God
His kingdom is forever
His kingdom is forever
His kingdom is forever
His kingdom is forever
His kingdom is forever
If we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
