A Mighty Fortress Is Our Lord

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann; Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our Lord, A sure defense to save us! He frees us with His trusty sword When trouble would enslave us. The foe of all mankind Great evil has designed; His cruel weapons still Are force and cunning skill; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours we cannot win, Soon were our loss effected; But with us in the battle's din Is One whom God elected. Ask ye, Who may this be? The Lord of hosts is He; Christ Jesus is His name, True God from heav'n He came In ev'ry strife to conquer. 3 Tho' devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpow'r us. The prince of hell may still Scowl fiercely as he will, No harm to us is done, He's judged, the fight is won; A single word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word of God shall stand secure; They cannot work their pleasure. The Spirit, with His gifts so pure, We have in fullest measure. What tho' they take this life, Goods, honor, child and wife, Their hatred still is vain, They have no lasting gain; We still possess the kingdom.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Hymnal: 50 Favorites #3 (2013) Hymnal Title: 50 Favorites Lyrics: 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 though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through 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 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.

Small Church Music

Editors: Martin Luther Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
