Amen. Used With Tune: URBS BEATA Text Sources: Latin, 7th century

A mighty fortress is our God

Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 685 hymnals Topics: TheChurch Year Festival of the Reformation; Christ Defender and Helper; Conflict; Christian Courage; God the Father Fortress; God the Father Refuge and Helper; Renouncing All for Christ 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.

Till we gaze on Jesus, And rejoice for ever. 7 Father, Son and Spirit, Three in One confessing, Give we equal glory, Equal praise and blessing. Amen.
