A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

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 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. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG
