A Mighty Fortress

Intro
Yeah, a mighty fortress
A mighty fortress
Uhh

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
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

Verse 3
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

Verse 4
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
Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God's truth abideth still
His Kingdom is forever
His Kingdom is forever

Outro
Hallelujah
All praise to our God
The mighty fortress
