A Mighty Fortress

<p>A mighty Fortress is our God<br/>A Bulwark never failing;<span><br/>Our Helper He amid the flood<br/>Of mortal ills prevailing:<br/>For still our ancient foe<span><br/>Doth seek to work us woe;<br/>His craft and power are great<br/>And, armed with cruel hate<br/>On earth is not his equal<span><br/><br/>Did we in our own strength confide<br/>Our striving would be losing;<span><br/>Were not the right Man on our side<span><br/>The Man of God&#x27;s own choosing:<br/>Dost ask who that may be?<br/>Christ Jesus, it is He;<br/>Lord Sabaoth His Name<span><br/>From age to age the same<br/>And He must win the battle<span><br/>And though this world, with devils filled<br/>Should threaten to undo us<br/>We will not fear, for God hath willed<br/>His truth to triumph through us:<span><br/>The Prince of Darkness grim<br/>We tremble not for him;<br/>His rage we can endure<br/>For lo! his doom is sure<br/>One little word shall fell him<span><br/><br/>That word above all earthly powers<br/>No thanks to them, abideth;<span><br/>The Spirit and the gifts are ours<br/>Through Him who with us sideth:<br/>Let goods and kindred go<br/>This mortal life also;<br/>The body they may kill:<br/>God&#x27;s truth abideth still<br/>His Kingdom is forever
