A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 675 hymnals Topics: Scripture Songs 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 forever. Amen. Used With Tune: [A mighty fortress is our God]

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs First Line: When the King shall come again Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, all his power revealing; splendour shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing: earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated; this is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert trees take root fresh from God's creation; plants and flowers and sweetest fruit join the celebration; rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning: valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning. 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees; fainting hearts, be cheerful! God, who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful; deaf ears, hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes, see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping. 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean, walks the road to Zion; ransomed people homeward bound, all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!
