A Mighty Fortress

  C      G        Am     G
A mighty Fortress is our God,
  Am            G   C
A Bulwark never failing;
    C      G    Am       G
Our Helper He amidst the flood
   Am             G  C
Of mortal ills prevailing:
    C         D       G
For still our ancient foe
     C       D       Am
Doth seek to work us woe;
    Am        D         G
His craft and pow'r are great,
    Am         F     E
And armed with cruel hate,
   Am               G   C
On earth is not his e - qual.

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:
Dost 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.

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:
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.

That word above all earthly pow'rs,
No thanks to them a - bideth;
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 for - ever.
