A Mighty Fortress

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
 If 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
 You 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 tho' this world with devils filled
 Should threaten to undo us
 We will not fear for God hath willed
 His truth to triumph thru us
 And tho' this world with devils filled
 Should threaten to undo us
 We will not fear for God hath willed
 His truth to triumph thru us
 A Mighty Fortress is our God
 His kingdom is forever
 His kingdom is forever
 If we in our own strength confide
 Our striving would be losing
