A MIGHTY FORTRESS
Author(s): Jeremiah
Songbook: Love Songs Songbook
KeyWords: Endtime,

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 e-equal!

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be lo-o-sing
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 ba-attle!

And though this world with devils filled
Should threaten to undo-o us,
We will not fear for God has 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 fe-ell him!

That Word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them abi-i-deth.
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him Who with us si-i-deth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill,
God's Truth abideth still.
His Kingdom is fore-e-ver!
