A mighty stronghold is our God

Author: Joel Swartz; Martin Luther Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #343 (1899) Lyrics: 1 A mighty stronghold is our God, A sure defence and weapon; He helps us free from every need Which hath us now o'er taken. The old angry foe Now means us deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight,-- On earth is not His equal. 2 In our own strength can naught be done-- Our loss were soon effected; There fights for us the Proper One, By God himself elected. Ask you who frees us? It is Christ Jesus-- The Lord Sabaoth, There is no other God; He'll hold the field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All waiting to devour us; We'll still succeed, so God hath willed,-- They cannot overpower us: The Prince of this world To hell shall be hurled; He seeks to alarm, But shall do us no harm; The smallest word can fell Him. 4 The Word they still must let remain, And for that have no merit; For He is with us on the plain, By His good gifts and Spirit: Destroy they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife? Let all pass amain, They still no conquest gain, For ours is still the kingdom. Amen.

The old angry foe Now means us deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight,-- On earth is not his equal. 2 In our own strength can naught be done-- Our loss were soon effected; There fights for us the Proper One, By God himself elected.
