Artist: Martin Luther
Song: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
[Verse 1]
C G Am G
A mighty fortress is our God,
Am Em C Dm C
a bulwark never failing;
C G Am G
Our helper He, amid the flood,
Am Em C Dm C
of mortal ills prevailing:
Am D7 G
For still our ancient foe,
G F Am
doth seek to work us woe;
Am D7 G
His craft and power are great,
F Dm E
and, armed with cruel hate,
Am Em C Dm C
On earth is not his equal.
[Verse 2]
C G Am G
Did we in our own strength confide,
Am Em C Dm C
our striving would be losing;
C G Am G
Were not the right Man on our side,
Am Em C Dm C
the Man of God's own choosing:
Am D7 G
Dost ask who that may be?
G F Am
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Am D7 G
Lord Sab-a-oth, His Name,
F Dm E
from age to age the same,
Am Em C Dm C
And He must win the bat-tle.
[Chorus] x2
G
A Mighty fortress,
C
A mighty Fortress is our God
[Verse 3]
C G Am G
And though this world, with devils filled,
Am Em C Dm C
should threaten to un do us,
C G Am G
We will not fear, for God hath willed,
Am Em C Dm C
His truth to triumph through us:
Am D7 G
The prince of darkness grim,
G F Am
we tremble not for him
Am D7 G
His rage we can endure,
F Dm E
for lo, his doom is sure,
Am Em C Dm C
One little word will fell him.
[Verse 4]
C G Am G
That word above all earthly powers,
Am Em C Dm C
no thanks to them, abid-eth;
C G Am G
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
Am Em C Dm C
through Him Who with us side-eth:
Am D7 G
Let goods and kindred go,
G F Am
this mortal life al-so;
Am D G
The body they may kill:
F Dm E
God's truth abideth still,
Am Em C Dm C
His kingdom is for ev - er.
[Chorus] x2
G
A Mighty fortress,
C
A mighty Fortress is our God
