lyrics

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, does seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great and armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

Did 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 battle

Chorus:
Our God is a strong and mighty fortress
Our God is the rock on which we stand
And nothing could ever separate us
Our God holds us in His mighty hand

And though this world with devils filled should threaten to undo us.
We will not fear for God has willed His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

Chorus:
Our God is a strong and mighty fortress
Our God is the rock on which we stand
And nothing could ever separate us
Our God holds us in His mighty hand

That Word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also
The body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still;
His kingdom is forever.
