A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther; Frederic H. Hedge Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4259 First Line: A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing 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.
Alternate translation:
1. A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty shield and weapon;
He helps us free from every need that hath us now overtaken.
The old evil foe now means deadly woe; deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight; on Earth is not his equal.
2. With might of ours can naught be done, soon were our loss effected;
But for us fights the Valiant One, whom God Himself elected.
Ask ye, who is this? Jesus Christ it is.
Of Sabbath Lord, and there’s none other God;
He holds the field forever.
3. Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us.
We tremble not, we fear no ill, they shall not overpower us.
This world’s prince may still scowl fierce as he will,
He can harm us none, he’s judged; the deed is done;
One little word can fell him.
4. The Word they still shall let remain nor any thanks have for it;
He’s by our side upon the plain with His good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life, goods, fame, child and wife,
Let these all be gone, they yet have nothing won;
The kingdom ours remaineth. Languages: English Tune Title: [A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing]

For God with us is living.
Let goods and kindred go,

Though all of these be gone,
They yet have nothing won.
The kingdom's ours forever!

1 Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios,
defensa y buen escudo.
Con su poder nos librará
en todo trance agudo.
Con furia y con afán
acósanos Satán;
por armas deja ver
astucia y gran poder:
cual él no hay en la tierra.
2 Nuestro valor es nada aquí;
con él todo es perdido.
Mas por nosotros luchará
de Dios el escogido.
Es nuestro Rey, Jesús,
el que venció en la cruz,
Señor y Salvador,
y siendo el solo Dios,
él triunfa en la batalla.
3 Y si demonios mil están
prontos a devorarnos,
no temeremos, porque Dios
sabrá cómo ampararnos.
¡Que muestre su vigor
Satán, y su furor!
Dañarnos no podrá,
pues condenado es ya
por la palabra santa.
4 Esa palabra del Señor,
que el mundo no apetece,
por el Espíritu de Dios
muy firme permanece.
Nos pueden despojar
de bienes, nombre, hogar,
el cuerpo destruir,
mas siempre ha de existir
de Dios el reino eterno. Topics: Dios Poder de; God Power of; Dios Reinado de; God Reign of; Faith; Fe; Kingdom of God; Reino de Dios Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:2-4 Languages: English; Spanish Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

For lo, his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.

His truth to triumph thro' 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 pow'rs,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
Thro' 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.

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: The Celebration Hymnal #151 (1997) 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 pow'r 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 tho' this world with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph thro' 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 pow'rs,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thro' 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.
