A mighty Fortress is our God A trusty Shield and Weapon He helps us free from every need That hath us now overtaken The old evil Foe Now means deadly woe Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight On Earth is not his equal With might of ours can naught be done Soon were our loss effected But for us fights the Valiant One Whom God Himself elected Ask ye Who is this? Jesus Christ it is Of Sabbath Lord And there's none other God He holds the field forever Though devils all the world should fill All eager to devour us We tremble not we fear no ill They shall not overpower us This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will He can harm us none He's judged the deed is done One little word can fell him The Word they still shall let remain Nor any thanks have for it He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit And take they our life Goods fame child and wife Let these all be gone They yet have nothing won The Kingdom our remaineth
