A Mighty Fotress Lyrics
|
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 equal.
Did
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:
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 battle.
That
word above all earthly powers,
No
thanks to them, abideth;
The
Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through
Him who with us sideth:
Let
goods and kindred go,
This
mortal life also;
The
body they may kill:
God’s
truth abideth still,
His
Kingdom is forever.
