shai linne - a mighty fortress lyrics

Loading...

[verse 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
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great
and, armed with cruel hate
on earth is not his equal

[verse 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:
you ask who that may be?
christ jesus, it is he;
the lord of hosts his name
from age to age the same
and he must win the battle

[verse 3]
and though this world, with devils filled
should threaten to undo us
we will not fear, for god has 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

[verse 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 k!ll:
god’s truth abideth still
his kingdom is forever
