A Mighty Fortress Is Our God Songtext
von Greater Vision

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.


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;
The Lord of Hosts, His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

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:
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill:
God′s truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is forever!

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Amen!
