A mighty fortress is our God,

a stronghold never failing

Our Helper in the midst of the flood,

ancient

foe,

he seeks to
Em
work us

woe.

On earth is not his,
C
On earth is not his
Em
equal

our striving would be losing

Em
that may
C
be?
D
Christ Jesus,
Em
it is
C
He
G
Lord of the sabbath is His name,

from age to age He is the same

And He will win,
C
and He will win the

battle

VERSE 3
G
And though this world with devils filled,

should threaten to undo us

His truth to triumph through us
D
The Prince of
Em
Darkness
C
grim,
D
we tremble
Em
not for
C
him
G
His rage we surely can endure,
Em
for God has said his doom it is sure
D
One little word will,
C
one little word will
G
end him
D

That word above all earthly powers,
C
will never fade away
G
The Spirit and the gifts are ours

to guide us every day
D
Let goods and

kindred
C
go,
D
this mortal
Em
life
al
C
so
G
This body, they may kill;
Em
God’s truth, abideth still
D
His kingdom is,
C
His kingdom is for
G
ever
D
