A Mighty Fortress Is Our God: -ghf036.mid - [Play Midi]

1. 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 pow'r are great
   And, armed with cruel hate,
   On earth is not his equal

2. 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

3. And tho this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
   We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph thru 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 fell him.

4. That word above all earthly pow'rs - No thanks to them abideth
   The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thru 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.
