1. [A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; ] intro
C G Am D G C Em Am G7 C
Our helper He, amid the flood, of mortal ills prevailing:
C D G C Em Am
For still our ancient foe, doth seek to work us woe;
C D G A F E
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
Am Em Am G7 C
On earth is not his equ al.
C G Am D G C Em Am G7 C
2. Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
C G Am D G C Em Am G7 C
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:
C D G C Em Am
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
C D G A F E
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
Am Em Am G7 C
And He must win the bat tle.
C G Am D G C Em Am G7 C
3. And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to un do us,
C G Am D G C Em Am G7 C
We will not fear, for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us:
C D G C Em Am
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not of him
C D G A F E
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
Am Em Am G7 C
One little word shall fell him.
