A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 707 hymnals Topics: Proper 6 Year A Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper sure amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: for still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; power and malice great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth he has no equal. 2 Did we in our 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; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed the 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. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through Christ, who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, God's kingdom is forever.

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee. Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

Let the water and the blood, from your wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labors of my hands can fulfill your law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; you must save, and you alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to your cross I cling; Naked, come to you for dress; helpless, look to you for grace; Stained, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, meet you at your judgment throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide; my shelter be!

As thou hast died for me, O may my love to thee pure, warm and changeless be, a living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, and griefs around me spread, be thou my guide; bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears away, nor let me ever stray from thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, when death's cold sullen stream shall o'er me roll, blest Saviour, then in love, fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul.
