A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #336a (2024) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 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
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On Earth is not his equal.
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:
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
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.
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,
His kingdom is for ever. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 25; Reformation Day Scripture: Psalm 46:1 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN FESTE BURG

with craft and cunning great,
and armed with cruel hate;
on earth there is no equal.

our striving would be losing,
but there is one who takes our side,
the one of God’s own choosing.
You ask who that may be:
Christ Jesus, it is he!
The Lord of hosts by name,
from age to age the same.
None else can win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we tremble not, for God has willed
that truth will triumph through us.
Though Satan rant and rage
and fiercest war engage,
such wrath we can endure,
for evil’s doom is sure.
One little word shall end it.

no thanks to them, is sounding.
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
by God’s good grace abounding.

wealth, fam’ly, life, and name.
The body they may kill;
God’s truth will triumph still.
