A Mighty Fortress Is Our God by Martin Luther
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
Our helper He, amid the flood, of mortal ills prevailing:
C Am G D7 G C G C F G7 Am
For still our ancient foe, doth seek to work us woe;
E Am E Am D7 G F C7 A Dm E
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
On earth is not his equ al.
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:
C Am G D7 G C G C F G7 Am
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
E Am E Am D7 G F C7 A Dm E
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
And He must win the bat tle.
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to un do us,
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
We will not fear, for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us:
C Am G D7 G C G C F G7 Am
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not of him
E Am E Am D7 G F C7 A Dm E
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
One little word shall fell him.
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abide th;
C G Em Am D7 G Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
The Spirit and the gifts are ours, through Him Who with us side th:
C Am G D7 G C G C F G7 Am
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life al so;
E Am E Am D7 G F C7 A Dm E
The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,
Am Em F C Am Dm G7 C
His kingdom is for ev er.
