A mighty fortress is our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Frederic Henry Hedge, 1805-1890 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #687 (1985) 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 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.

A mighty fortress is our God

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #270 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay, whate'er doth happen. The old malignant 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 With might of ours naught can be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye who this may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth is His name, From age to age the same,-- He holds the field forever. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All eager to devour us, Our souls to fear should little yield, They cannot overpower 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 can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let abide, Nor thanks be due them for it; The Lord of hosts is by our side, Grants us His gifts and Spirit; And though they take our life, Goods, honor--children, wife, Yet, when their worst is done, They still have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth.
